Police in Saint John are investigating two suspicious deaths at a hotel in the east end of the city.

Few details have been released, but two bodies were found inside the Best Western Plus on Major Brook Drive on Tuesday.

There were several police vehicles and forensic officers at the hotel Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.

The Saint John Police Force confirms its major crime unit is investigating the deaths.

The Best Western Plus is a four-storey hotel along a busy roadway that leads to the city's east side retail and shopping district.

The SPCA Animal Rescue League confirmed Wednesday that two dogs were removed from the hotel as part of the police investigation.

The group could not identify the breed of the dogs and will not say why the SPCA assistance was needed by police.

No information has been released about the victims or how they died.
