Parasitic battery drain

Parasitic battery drain
Are there any common issues with the S60 such as faulty door or trunk switches that would cause the battery to drain? The battery is completely dead and was purchased new only two years ago.
In one of my other cars it was common for the trunk switch to fail and the trunk lights would stay on and draw power after the car was shut off. I'm looking for the common places to start diagnosing as we aren't too familiar yet with Volvo's.
Thanks.

The trunk lights are functioning properly and turn off when it's closed. None of the interior lights are staying on either. I was hoping it would be a simple interior lamp staying on for some reason but there's something else drawing power or maybe a failing alternator.
I'll do a more thorough diagnosis starting with the alternator over the weekend, the Volvo isn't a daily driver and I have other projects that need finishing so I'm not in a huge rush to get it done.
