Police in a Minneapolis suburb are investigating the deaths of two young people whose bodies were found in vehicle in a restaurant parking lot.

Anoka county authorities identified them as Alissa Spah, 20, of Andover and Antonio Perfetti, 22, of Ham Lake. Both died at 3:52 p.m. Thursday.

The Midwest Medical Examiner said Friday that the cause of death is still to be determined in both cases.

Coon Rapids police were called to Buffalo Wild Wings Thursday about 3:30 p.m. on a report of two people passed out in a vehicle. Officers arrived and determined the two were dead.

Capt. Jon Urquhart says it appears the deaths are accidental, but he wasn't more specific.

The Anoka County Sheriff is assisting in the investigation.
