The first occurred when a woman in her 40s was hit by a car during the busy school run rush hour on Dereham Road in Costessey.
The following morning the body of a man in his 20s was discovered in a nearby park.
Police are not aware of a link between the two tragedies, but the deaths happening so close together has left many in the area shaken.
"It's a tragedy," said Costessey councillor Gary Blundell.
"Two young people have lost their lives in the last day and our sympathies go out to all of those involved.
"I feel safe in saying the community is devastated."
