The police had also cordoned off the fourth floor and were seen conducting investigations at a unit on that floor.
The flat is believed to have been where the two deceased parties lived.
Judging from the positions of the bodies, they could have fallen from the stairwell of the block.
A neighbour who lives in the same block told Zaobao that he heard a loud noise at about 12.45pm.
The eyewitness, who declined to be named, said he went downstairs to check it out and was shocked to see that two people had fallen.
They appeared to be Chinese, and one of them, a woman, was lying face down.
The other person appeared to be a baby and was still wearing a diaper.
At about 2.40pm, a man believed to be a relative of the deceased arrived at the scene and talked with police officers.
The bodies were taken away at 4.40pm, after which the man returned to the flat with a solemn look and started moving things around.
He declined to speak to reporters.
Another neighbour, who also refused to be named, indicated that the deceased were mother and daughter.
They moved into the estate about a year ago, and he would usually greet them.
He described them as quiet, and the woman had two children, including an older son.
The male relative is believed to not be her husband, the resident said.
Based on preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect any foul play in relation to the incident.
Specifically, they have ruled out the possibility of homicide.
Investigations are still ongoing.
