Authorities Monday publicly identified two retirement-age brothers found dead over the weekend in a home in a rural neighborhood east of Lakeside.
The deaths of Kenneth Burchette, 76, and his 84-year-old sibling, Wilburn, in the 15500 block of Creek Hills Road in Blossom Valley were reported about 5:15 p.m. Sunday, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
“Both men appeared to have been deceased for some time,” Lt. Joseph Jarjura said.
How the brothers died remains under investigation, the lieutenant said.
