It is not known how old the man and woman are and they had not been formally identified by Saturday morning.

Post mortems are due to take place on Tuesday to establish the cause of death.

Police officers remained at Bournebrook Crescent, which is next to the M5, throughout Friday after being called to "concerns for the welfare" of the people in the flat at 6.40am.

Councillor Alan Taylor, who represents Halesowen South, was saddened by the news.

He said: "I'd like to show my condolences to the family and friend.

"It's a tragic thing and we don't know the cause yet, but to lose someone so suddenly is awful."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police quoting log 502 of 25 March.
