Iowa police are investigating the deaths of a woman and her five children whose bodies were found at a house in Sioux City yesterday.

The body of a man was found at another location.

The deaths may have been related, but investigators would not say how the victims died or whether the children and mother had a connection to the seventh victim.

There are no suspects, city police said in a brief statement.

They said officers were called to investigate the body of a man found in an entry way on the north side of Sioux City late yesterday and a few minutes later were called to another location where the five children and their mother were found.

Police did not say how the seven died.
