D.C. police said today that they are investigating the deaths of two men whose bodies were found four days apart in the same apartment unit in Northwest Washington.
Authorities have found no outward signs of foul play in either case, said Police Inspector Rodney Parks. He said it remains unclear if the deaths are related, but added that investigators are aiming to find out. "It would make anyone's eyebrow go up," Parks said.

CLOSEThe first body was found Sept.16 in the building in the 2400 block of 16th Street NW. Authorities identified the man as Jordan Cronkin, 26, who had no fixed address.
Police were called to the same unit on Sept. 20, where they found the body of Dean Johnson, 45. Media accounts in New York reported that Johnson promoted gay parties in Manhattan, fronted rock bands and starred in pornographic films.
Authorities said they have yet to determine a cause of death in either case. Parks said investigators are awaiting results of toxicology and other tests.
