The family was discovered after a relative called for a welfare check on their home, authorities said CBS News.
Family members have since gathered outside the home as they try to grapple with the sudden loss of the family of four.
Family members told CBS News they were stunned to find out this was happening because they considered Singh and Parihar a “happy couple.”
Both parents worked in IT and one also worked in HR. The father, Singh, worked at Ness Digital Engineering as a Lead APIX Engineer, according to his LinkedIn page.

Singh was also believed to be deeply involved in his local community and was an active member of the PTA at his children’s school.
In a statement, West Windsor Plainsboro District Superintendent David Aderhold said: “The district was notified by local law enforcement of a horrific tragedy involving one of our Plainsboro families, along with a Wicoff student and a student from Millstone River School.”
The Plainsboro Police Department and the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office have joined forces in the case.
Records showed the couple purchased their Titus Lane home in August 2018 for $635,000.
