— Authorities say a husband and wife who were found dead in their south Arkansas home died of accidental drug overdoses.

Calhoun County Sheriff Bob Dunn says 26-year-old Eduardo Morales died of acute methadone intoxication while his wife, 24-year-old Heather Morales, died of an accidental overdose of methadone and diazepam, which is a sedative.

Dunn says the deaths have been ruled accidental.

The couple was found in their Locust Bayou home by Eduardo Morales’ parents on Sept. 20. Their 7-month-old daughter was also found in the home, but she was unharmed.
