Police taped off a block of flats on Mount Pleasant Road in Nunawading and forensic officers and SES volunteers were combing the area late on Saturday night as residents and passers-by gathered on the street.
One neighbour said she saw three ambulances and multiple police cars arrive on Saturday evening.
"It's terrible. I’ve lived here for 25 years... we are very much a quiet little community particularly at our end of the street,” she said.
The woman was found dead inside a white Audi SUV just after 6pm on Saturday. The man died at the scene shortly after emergency services arrived, while the child was found uninjured inside the vehicle.
A police spokeswoman said it was believed the man and woman knew each other.
"The female was deceased when emergency services arrived," she said. "The male died at the scene a short time later.
"A child that was also believed to have been in the vehicle was not physically injured."
A resident of the street said he was in shock.
"The street itself is normally very quiet,” he said. “Nothing normally happens in this street and it’s a bit of a shock, as such.
“Normally you see things on TV thinking something’s never going to happen in your neighbourhood.”
Another man said he walked his dog along the street every night.
“It’s just a quiet residential street with lots of units,” he said. “We live a suburb away so we were just doing a night walk, walking the dog.”
A police spokeswoman said the exact cause of death was yet to be determined and police were not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident.
Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
