Subscribe to RSSSAUK VILLAGE, Ill. -- The bodies of two men were discovered in a vacant home Tuesday evening by a property owner hoping to make a sale to a potential buyer, The Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.
The victims, ages 19 and 18, were shot multiple times and appear to have been inside the house in Sauk Village for at least a day, officials told the Tribune. The bodies were discovered just after 9:30 p.m. CT Tuesday.
Both were dead at the scene, the medical examiner's office said. Their identities were not released pending notification of their relatives. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday, local media reported.
The house is a four-bedroom property listed as a short sale that has been on the market for 121 days, according to WLS-AM.com. The asking price is $44,900, according to Realtor.com.
The tiny Sauk Village is just five square miles and has 10,000 residents, according to its website. It's about 30 miles south of Chicago.

Psychological Impact Disclosure - he might as well give the house away, now.
Former tenets can kiss their cleaning deposit goodbye.
This might be cause for breaking the lease.
P.C. Moblee,
"he might as well give the house away, now."
No. He just has to change the advertising to, "Buy house; get free bodies!"
How about "including a Two Boys room".
Pathetic posters!
They put out posters of the crime scene? How morbid.
Guess that killed the deal
I'm very confused. This home comes with extras and people are worried????
Seriously, I can't imagine walking in on that scene. Horrible!
A four-bedroom house for less than $45K? A ford pickup truck costs more than that. That must have been a real sweet deal until they found the two dead servants.
Now THAT'S leverage for a price discount. 121 days on the market AND dead bodies!?!? Buyer's dream come true.
Fixer-upper. The house, not the bodies.
There's so much that I could say - all of it sooooo wrong on sooooo many levels, so I'll just let it go.
So the bodies had "For Sale" signs on them? Their company would really stink.
Awesome slanted headline. I thought the bodies were for sale.
Slippery language, English!
Especially when it says that they were declared dead at the scene, after being dead for at least a day... just prior.
I see they've now de-ambiguized the headline. De-ambiguated?
de-zombified
"Corrected?"
Unobtruced
Disambiguated.
Hey! Spell-checker didn't flag that one - must be a real word!
Nice one. I was gonna go with Decombopulated, or maybe Decomposited?
A 4-bedroom for $44,900, PLUS free dead guys? What a steal!
Does this r e a l l y surprise anyone? They better check all the closets and basement - there may be more!
Right up there with Detroit!
Check with the community organizer. Probably knows who is responsible.
I'd say the occupiers were looking for a squat.
Pat G., So all the dead bodies found during the Bush administration are connected to W? Man you are lame dude!
Devil's Son (and Pat G) no - Bush/Cheney killed people. Totally different situation!
Devil's son - Pat G didn't insinuate that all dead bodies found during The Bummer's term are connected - just the ones near his hometown.
A 4 bedroom house here in Jersey would be 400,000...SMH. Murder suicide, drug related. Take your pick.
Murder/suicide with multiple shots to each body. Must have been really poor shots....
you'd probably want to stay in any vacant house so you could bang Bristol
Obviously you never been to Sauk Village. I have $44 k is a lot there.
I'd kill for that deal.
Short sale on the market for that long? I seriously doubt that the owner will mention to any potential buyers what was found in that house.
of course they would not mention it. that would ruin the chances of them selling the house.
Some of you "KILL" me.
Some people will try anything to get a reduced price.
Just another reminder to always get a home inspection... not all bodies are left where they're easily found.
who ever killed those people should die a horrible death even if its a 13 year old a 13 years= old should have his throat cut with a rusty kitchen knife
My guess u didn't watch enough rainbow brite as a child...what a violent mind.
mommy don't love michelle
I think michelle is probably about 13 years old....
and is holding a rusty kitchen knife.
I live here...actually it was a beautiful community.Until it went section 8.When the nice black family's were saying to get out because the "N" words are coming I should have listened. 19 APR 2005 was nearly beaten to death.The police said it was my fault for going out after dark.Our weasel governor won't sign a CCW law.Pelcher's opens @ 11:00 and I'm going to look at firearms.
So do like the criminals do - ignore the law and don't ask permission. Of course, that would mean you are a criminal also but that doesn't mean you have to act like a criminal with all other actions. If you carry, just don't brag about it.
How did they know how old they were. maybe they was just faking being dead. people do that you know. pretend your ded so you don't have to pay taxes.
I would hope the Medical Examiners would be able to positively confirm that a body was dead if it had been dead for 24+ hours.
As for how old they were, maybe they had wallets.
If you don't think the dead can come back to life, show up where I work at quitting time.
No way are they getting asking price now
they may as well drop off $20,000 and they can sell it quicker.
"Stigma damages" may impact the sale, though I'm not sure the $45K price range market is sensitive to stigma damages.
45k might trump stigma
Just guessing but I will bet the autopsies prove the cause of death for these two was gun shots wounds. LOL It just happens to be in Obama's home town. Hmmm?
You smellin conspiracy?
Obama lives in CHICAGO. YOU TWIT. Are all the dead bodies in Dallas and Houston in Bush's backyard? This happened almost 20 miles from Obama's house. Get a life you GOP schill.
Don't let the humorless distract you from seeing the conspiracies Rangewolf. Keep up the good work. I think you are on to something.
HUMORLESS? You find dead bodies and street crime funny? Conspiracy? Get real! It's a nice day tell MOM you're going out and leave the basement you GOP schill.
Rangewolf - and according to your theory any death in the entire US for the 8 years Bush was President could be attributed to Bush/Cheney. Just sayin...
I think Jesus is attacking your brain Devil's son.
Goin, I bet you there could be some truth to that. You never know. Rangewolf is a genius. You guys just like keeping blinders on. I know its easier that way.
One would think that with a moniker like devil's son they would be willing to accept dead bodies regardless of political party affiliation. I'm guessing the devil and its son must be entitlers based on the comments. Wouldn't want any bruthas getting upset about a couple more dead bodies in the 'hood.
3 bedroom, 1 dead-room house for sale. Needs some work; slight odor and chalk marks on floor. Come by for open-house. Look for yellow tape. FHA and CSI approved only.
funny!!!!!!!!!!!
That's why it says "As Is" on the mortgage.
Obama's new Mortgage Rescue Program. Comes with 2 dead crack heads.
cracked dead heads?
$44k for a house outside Chicago is peanuts. I would think the real problem there is the neighborhood and not just the house.
Murder and a quick dinner.. Always made me feel, at home!! lool
whats a little stinky poo among frends?
chicago subs.. people are just dieing to get in.
Look like Snoop still leavin' bodies in vacants. Marlow Stanfield ain't gonna be happy 'bout dis
Dude! That's a Wire reference! I miss that show. The best from HBO so far.
$44,000 is too cheap for any house. Is it an outhouse? It may be the neighborhood.
Instead of saying that, I should just have said:
"When you walk thru the garden, you better watch your back
well I beg your pardon.... "
~Well, this article told us how many bedrooms, listed the asking price and described the community. I think someone might be getting a little kickback for 'helping' sell this gem.
