Concord Police Mum About Person Found Dead Inside Heights Townhouse

CONCORD, NH — Concord police are investigating a death inside a townhouse but are not saying much about the situation.

Police were sent to 44 Northeast Village Road Saturday after receiving a tip about packages piling up at the townhouse and neighbors not seeing the man or his dog in about a week. Around 1:15 p.m., a tenant in the complex called the police back with more information, and officers returned to the scene. After examining the apartment just before 2 p.m., they called fire and rescue teams to confirm a person found inside was dead.

Concord fire and rescue teams confirmed the body was code gray, and more officers arrived, including technicians who spent several hours gathering evidence.

Deputy Police Chief John Thomas of the Concord Police Department said Wednesday the incident was still under investigation but there was no danger to the community or neighborhood.

The occupant of the townhouse was renting the unit from its owner. According to neighbors, the tenant’s Jeep was not in the parking lot and had not been seen for about a week.

Concord police were at the home in August 2021, investigating a burglary report involving a man who was struck in the head with a hammer or hand-held pitchfork tool. He was seen running from the building and screaming. Two suspects, reportedly involved in the burglary and attack, were known to the victim. One had a lengthy criminal history, according to a report on Patch.
