CLEVELAND - Police in Cleveland say officers who went to a home looking for a rape suspect found two decomposing bodies upstairs and what appeared to be a freshly dug grave in the basement.

Police spokesman Lt. Thomas Stacho (STAH'-koh) says detectives with a search warrant made the discoveries at a duplex house on the city's east side around 8 p.m. Thursday. He says the bodies were in an advanced state of decomposition, suggesting they'd been in the home a long time. The sexes of the two people were not apparent.

Police have not said whether anything was found in the grave.

The coroner's office is examining the bodies. The man who lived at the home is still being sought.
