The two men whose bodies were found in Ballymena are being named locally as Rodney McDowell and Mark McPeake.
The close friends, who were both in their 40s, were discovered outside flats at Drumtara in the Ballee area yesterday morning.
Police have only said that the circumstances surrounding the deaths are being investigated.
Post mortems are expected to take place later.
It's understood the men had both been battling alcohol addiction.
