A young Michigan couple, Cameron Hulet, 28, and his wife Courtney, 20, were found dead under mysterious circumstances in their Dundee apartment earlier this week. Authorities say there were no signs of trauma, and autopsy and toxicology results are still pending. Family members revealed the couple had recently lost custody of their two young sons, a devastating event they believe may have contributed to their decline.
Cameron’s mother, Cheryl Harris, said the couple had been extremely depressed after Child Services placed their four-month-old and one-year-old sons into foster care. Though Cameron reportedly had a criminal history, his family described him as a hardworking father who juggled two jobs to support his wife and children.
When the couple was found, there were signs they were preparing dinner, and police also discovered a pound of marijuana—possibly for sale—but no evidence of foul play. Their sudden deaths remain unexplained, with investigators calling it “a mystery.”
The family is now grieving and raising funds for burial expenses through a GoFundMe and a community dinner in Monroe, Michigan. “They loved their boys,” Harris said. “Even if they couldn’t give them everything, they lived for them.”
