An autopsy will determine how they died.
Ward's mother was the last known person to see the two. She told investigators she knew something was wrong when she saw a broken window in her daughter's mobile home, which is near hers.
Taylor was a student at Bear Grass Charter School, where classes are canceled Friday.
