Ventura County officials say a father died of a drug overdose after stabbing his two children to death at his apartment.
Sheriff's Capt. Ross Bonfiglio says James Mulvaney killed 7-year-old Jennifer and 12-year-old Jason sometime late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
He says the 52-year-old father killed himself several hours later with an overdose of prescription drugs.
Toxicology reports are pending.
Officials say Mulvaney's ex-wife Julie Mulvaney found the bodies Wednesday evening when she visited the apartment in Thousand Oaks.
Court records show the Mulvaneys divorced last year and had been involved in a custody case.
