Information released by the Dorset coroner’s office said Mr Williams was from Bridport while Miss Powell was from Kenilworth.
Dorset Police said the deaths are not being treated as suspicious but investigators are trying to establish the circumstances on behalf of the coroner.
The force has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Complaints (IOPC) over the deaths due to prior contact with the individuals.
