A former Arizona State University football player and a woman were found dead inside an apartment on Friday.
The bodies of Veronica Birk, 25, and Brock Haman, 24, were discovered by Scottsdale police inside the Cibola Apartment Complex, according to Fox 10.
Sgt Ben Hoster said Saturday that Birk and Haman were acquaintances.
Authorities said the bodies were found after police conducted a welfare check that was requested.
Birk’s mother made the request, according to police, after she hadn’t heard from her daughter for a week.
According to a police statement, Birk and Haman appeared to have been dead for some time.
Police found evidence at the scene that indicates that drug use was related to the deaths, according to the station.
A medical examiner will determine the exact cause of death for both victims.
Haman’s uncle posted a heartfelt tribute to his nephew on Saturday.
‘Today is one of the saddest days of my life. I found out that my nephew Brock Haman passed away,’ his uncle, Devin Haman, wrote.
‘He was such a nice and amazing boy with so much life left In him. I love you Brock and will miss you so much. You will always be in my prayers. May God bless you,’ his uncle added.
Haman was recruited from Saguaro High School for Arizona State University’s class of 2011. He committed to Arizona in 2010.
Records show that Haman started and stopped playing for the Arizona Razorbacks in 2011.
Police said there are no suspects but authorities are currently investigating the deaths.
