   ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — The mother of one of the two 22-year-olds found dead last weekend near Ohio University told a 911 dispatcher she thought they had drowned themselves in a bathtub.

In the 911 call made Saturday morning, Cynthia Welden said she pulled her son and his girlfriend out of the tub at an apartment in Athens.

A police report says Hocking College student Christopher Theil and Ohio University student Kelly Armbruster died sometime between 1 a.m. and 6:18 a.m., when authorities were called.

Athens Police Capt. Tom Pyle says there were no obvious signs of foul play. He says police are awaiting autopsy results to determine the cause of death and says the full findings could take up to eight weeks.
