Authorities say a man has been arrested on suspicion of killing his parents and their housekeeper in an upscale Southern California community.

Orange County sheriff's spokeswoman Carrie Braun said Friday that 64-year-old Richard Nicholson, 61-year-old Kim Nicholson and 57-year-old Maria Morse were found dead in a Newport Beach home Wednesday.

Newport Beach police spokeswoman Heather Rangel says the Nicholsons are parents of 27-year-old suspect Camden Nicholson and Morse was their housekeeper.

Authorities say they were found dead when police made a welfare check at the home in response to a request by officers who had contact with Camden Nicholson at a hospital.

No charges had been filed against him early Friday. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.
