ST. CROIX — Two brothers, one of them a FEMA employee, were found dead on Monday morning lying in a relaxed position in their Mary’s Fancy home, V.I.P.D. Public Information Officer Glen Dratte has announced.
According to police, the house is the home of 69-year-old John Rapine, the FEMA employee. The other deceased, John’s brother, was identified as 61-year-old Joseph Rapine.
Mr. Dratte said the 911 emergency call center received a call at 11:09 a.m. Monday for a welfare check on a FEMA employee who did not show up for work. When officers arrived at the home, they discovered the two unresponsive males in the interior of the house.
A preliminary investigation revealed no signs of foul play, Mr. Dratte said.

The case remains under investigation by C.I.B. Both men were identified by next of kin.
