An autopsy will determine the cause and time of death, but there were no signs of a break-in or theft in the house.

Although nothing has been ruled out, investigators indicate an accident is most likely at the present time.

A source told news outlet La Dépêche: "It is not ruled out that one of the spouses witnessed the drowning of the other then came to their aid and sank themselves."

The British couple regularly spent their holidays at the "opulent" property.

The local mayor who knew them described both as: "very nice people who came many times a year and who occasionally participated in the town's activities".
