SPARTA, Ky. --
Five bodies were found in a car submerged in a northern Kentucky creek, near a sharp curve on a rural road, police said.
Foul play is not suspected, state Trooper Chip Perry said.
The car was found Thursday in Eagle Creek in Gallatin County, about 30 miles southwest of Cincinnati. Authorities removed the car and found the bodies of two adults and three children inside.
Investigators had no immediate identities for the five and did not know how long the car had been in the water. Autopsies were being conducted Friday.
Police in Hamilton, Ohio, about 20 miles north of Cincinnati, are investigating the disappearance of a family of five last seen just after Christmas.
"We are still treating this as a missing persons case, but we have been in contact with authorities in Kentucky in regards to this," Hamilton police spokesman Dave Crawford said.
Gallatin County acting Coroner Denny French said the car had an Indiana tag, but declined to comment further.
The car was found near a sharp curve on a narrow stretch of Kentucky 467, Perry said. Little of the car was visible but a passer-by spotted it and alerted authorities.
