No foul play is expected at this time, the coroner says.
The cause of death has not yet been determined.
Todd Kohlhepp is accused of murdering seven people.
Authorities say the remains of 25-year-old Meagan Coxie, her 29-year-old husband Johnny Coxie, and Charlie Carver were found buried on the Woodruff property where Carver’s girlfriend, Kala Brown, was held captive by Kohlhepp.
The sheriff said Kala was kept chained in a storage container until deputies found her on the property.
