The man claimed he had harmed two family members in the home and that he was also in possession of weapons, the SIU said Saturday.
The OPP sent a team of crisis negotiators and the Emergency Response Team.
Officers set up a perimeter around the home and spoke to the man over the phone.
When that communication stopped, a drone was sent into the home and the bodies of two dead women were located, as was the body of a dead man, the SIU said.
