Three people found dead in northern Minnesota resort; Police say there is no danger to public – Twin Cities

BREEZY POINT, Minnesota (AP) — Three people were found dead at a resort in northern Minnesota, police said Wednesday.

The bodies were discovered around 8:50 p.m. Tuesday at the Whitebirch Resort in Breezy Point. Police have not released the names of the victims or the cause of death, but said in a statement there was “no evidence of an ongoing threat to the public.”

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is assisting in the investigation along with the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office. According to the statement, police officers from the nearby towns of Nisswa, Crosslake and Pequot Lakes also assisted at the scene.

The resort is located in a popular vacation area in northern Minnesota, approximately 150 miles northwest of Minneapolis.

“It’s a time share resort about a mile from our property. We manage it, but it’s a separate resort,” said David Spizzo, associate general manager of Breezy Point Resort.

Spizzo added: “It is an active investigation and we are simply leaving the job to our local police force. We will follow their example as soon as information becomes available.”

Law enforcement is awaiting the preliminary results of the autopsy and the investigation is ongoing, police said in a further statement Wednesday afternoon.
