New details in man’s suspicious death in Laconia, NH
A man whose death is being treated as suspicious in Laconia, New Hampshire, was identified on Wednesday, but officials have yet to reveal many details about what happened.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office identified the man found dead at an apartment on South Main Street Tuesday as John Anderson, 62.
He lived at the residence, which officers were called to for a welfare check Tuesday morning, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Anderson was due for an autopsy on Thursday, officials said. The procedure usually reveals a cause and manner of death.
Prosecutors haven’t shared more information about what’s believed to have led to Anderson’s death, or if anyone was suspected in it. But the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office has said that his death isn’t believed to be connected to the killing of a woman in Laconia, also reported on Tuesday.
State and local police were investigating what happened. Officials have said there was no known threat to the public.
Anyone with any information about the investigation was asked to call the state police tip line at 603-MCU-TIPS.
A soaking rain is expected to arrive Thursday evening across New Hampshire, where moderate drought still persists.
The National Weather Service reports that thunderstorms are possible in central New Hampshire and wind gusts could reach up to 40 mph.
Their forecast indicates that the White Mountains and foothills could get the heaviest rainfall, as much as 1 inch.

WMUR reports firefighters from half a dozen communities responded in Deerfield on Tuesday to help the Deerfield Fire Department contain a brush fire, which was exacerbated by windy conditions.
