Two ambulance service workers have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter as part of a two-year police investigation into six deaths in Wiltshire.
A man in his 30s from West Wiltshire was arrested on suspicion of six counts of gross negligence manslaughter and four counts of ill-treatment or wilful neglect by a care worker.
A woman, 59, was also arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.
The pair have been released on bail while enquiries continue, Wiltshire Police said.
The man and woman arrested are understood to be a paramedic and an emergency care assistant, who were based out of Trowbridge Ambulance Station.
A major investigation was launched after a report was first made to the police in 2023.
South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust confirmed it has suspended two members of staff and said the deaths were an 'isolated incident'.
A spokesperson for the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, said: 'As soon as the Trust became aware of any concerns, we immediately initiated an internal investigation which resulted in a prompt police referral, and we have been working closely with them as part of the ongoing investigation.
'Two members of staff were suspended. The suspension of the two members of staff meant that they were immediately relieved of all duties, including the treatment of patients.
'We would like to reassure people that this is an isolated situation and there is no on-going risk to patients. Please continue to call 999 in a life-threatening emergency.
'One of the two individuals that were initially suspended, is no longer employed by the Trust.
'Due to the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this stage.'
In a confidential internal email, South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust told staff that the probe 'follows a concern raised by the Trust to Wiltshire Police'.
They added that it led to the 'immediate suspension of one member of staff, and their subsequent dismissal' followed by 'the suspension of a second member of staff'.
The email confirmed that 'the suspension of the two members of staff meant that they were immediately relieved of all duties, including the treatment of patients.'
The NHS trust's last inspection by the watchdog Care Quality Commission found the organisation to be 'good'.
DCI Phil Walker of Wiltshire Police said: 'In June 2024, we arrested a man in his 30s from West Wiltshire on suspicion of six counts of gross negligence manslaughter and four counts of ill-treatment or wilful neglect by a care worker.
'In addition, in March this year we arrested a 59-year-old woman on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.'
He added: 'We can confirm that a major investigation is underway relating to several adult deaths in and around Wiltshire.
'This investigation has been ongoing since an initial report was made to Wiltshire Police in 2023 and detailed enquiries have been undertaken since to ascertain the facts.
'Our focus is on supporting the families and loved ones of those who have died, and we would ask the media to respect their privacy at this time.'
