Man involved in standoff with NH police found dead after fire


BRADFORD, N.H. (WCAX) – Authorities say a man involved in an hourslong standoff with police at a home in Bradford, New Hampshire, died after the house went up in flames.

Police were called to the home on West Main Street at about 12:45 p.m. Thursday for a report of a man in crisis. Officers found the man armed with a knife. They tried to de-escalate the situation but were not successful.

At about 5:30 p.m., police spotted fire and smoke started coming from the home. Multiple crews were called in to fight the fire which took hours to extinguish.

The man was found dead inside the house after the fire was out. His body was sent to the medical examiner for autopsy to verify his identity and confirm the cause and manner of death. Police say the death is not considered suspicious.
