Coroner investigates double homicide at Great Wolf Lodge in Pennsylvania

An investigation in the Poconos

Officials are investigating a double homicide at Great Wolf Lodge in Scotrun, Pennsylvania, according to 6abc’s October 13 report. The Monroe County Coroner’s Office confirmed the investigation at the family resort in the Pocono Mountains. The report identifies the property at 1 Great Wolf Drive and attributes the description of the deaths to the coroner’s office. ^[1]

The Pocono Record separately reported that a resort spokesperson confirmed a domestic incident on the afternoon of October 12. Its account says police secured the affected area and that the company described the event as isolated, with no continuing security concern. The newspaper said it sought additional information from the coroner and Pocono Township Police. ^[2]

The resort’s account

In a statement carried by 6abc, Great Wolf Lodge said the incident occurred inside a guest room and that it was cooperating with local law enforcement. The company directed further questions about the investigation to Pocono Township Police. Its description of an isolated family incident is the resort’s account, distinct from the coroner’s confirmation of a double-homicide inquiry. ^[1]

A resort spokesperson told 6abc that operations were continuing after law enforcement determined there were no ongoing security concerns. The company also said a small part of the property remained restricted because of the investigation. The report does not describe a resort-wide closure or establish that the restricted area had reopened. ^[1]

Information for booked guests

The resort told 6abc that guests uncomfortable visiting could move their reservation to another date without a change fee. That is the company’s stated accommodation for affected visitors, not an independently issued police instruction. The reports cited here leave the victims’ identities and the circumstances leading to the deaths undisclosed. ^[1]
