Police are investigating, with the cause of death yet to be confirmed but not believed to be suspicious at this stage.
Speaking to media on Tuesday, Detective Inspector Dean Thomas said the ages of the males are believed to be 37, 32 and 17 while the female is 42.
He said the four bodies were discovered together in the same room. Police do not believe there was any violence, but are investigating what looked like signs of injuries on some of the bodies.
The teenager’s uncle, Cory, who lives next door, discovered the bodies prior to 2am. He said he was knocking on door and had received no answer.
He has told media he believes the deaths are related to a drug-overdose.
“It may have been a drug overdose, I’m not too sure,” he told Today. “I found them and it’s tortured me, it’s really got to me.”
“I hope people take a lesson from it not to fall into this type of stuff.”
Crime scene examiners are examining items which may be related to drug use.
