Officials are investigating a double homicide at the Great Wolf Lodge in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. The Monroe County Coroner's Office confirmed on Tuesday that it was investigating the incident at the family resort located at 1 Great Wolf Drive in Scotrun, Monroe County.

Resort response and safety measures

Great Wolf Lodge released a statement addressing the tragedy. "We are deeply saddened and heartbroken by a tragic domestic incident that occurred yesterday in a guest room at our resort in the Pocono Mountains," the statement read. "It was an isolated family incident, and we're cooperating fully with local law enforcement as they conduct their investigation. Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of those affected. Out of respect for those involved, as well as the integrity of the investigation, we ask that any further information regarding this matter be directed to Pocono Township Police Department."

Jason Lasecki, the resort's Vice President of Corporate Communications, stated that law enforcement assessed the situation and "determined it was isolated family incident and quickly verified there was no ongoing security concern."

Operational updates

Despite the investigation, operations at the resort continue. A spokesperson told 6abc that law enforcement verified there were no ongoing security concerns. However, resort officials noted that there was a small area of the resort with restricted access due to the police investigation.

For guests who are uncomfortable visiting the resort at this time, officials are providing the opportunity to postpone their visit to a different date with no change fees.

Why it matters

While the resort has declared the event an isolated domestic incident with no ongoing threat to public safety, the ongoing police investigation and restricted access areas indicate the severity of the situation. The cooperation between the resort and local law enforcement, including the Pocono Township Police Department and the Monroe County Coroner's Office, remains central to the case as details are withheld to protect the integrity of the investigation.
