Popular actress and singer Alicia Witt of 'Twin Peaks', 'The Walking Dead' and 'Orange is the New Black' fame has lost both her parents after they were found dead. She has said in a statement "I reached out to a cousin who lives close to my parents to check on them. Sadly, the outcome was unimaginable. I ask for some privacy at this time to grieve and to wrap my head around this turn of events, and this surreal loss."

According to police reports officers were called in by the relative of the deceased to check and when they entered they found both Robert Witt (87) and Diane Witt (75). No foul play has been suspected though the exact reason for their death has also not been ascertained.

According to neighbours the elderly couple were not only sick for a few years but were also not doing well financially. They refused any help from the nearby community in Worcester to repair their house that was pretty damaged. One neighbour volunteered to do their lawn from time to time.
