Derry police are handling the investigation, and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office is not involved. Based on several previous incidents, this would often indicate the death is likely not criminal. A local funeral home arrived at the scene just before 3:00 p.m. and removed the person from the scene.
No official information has been released, and updates will be posted if any new information becomes available.
