The New Hampshire attorney general’s office confirmed a suspicious death investigation into the deaths of a man and a woman at a Manchester home. The probe began after Manchester police responded to a domestic dispute report at a residence on Wheelock Road on Tuesday morning.
Police first alerted the public around 10:30 a.m. via social media, urging residents to avoid the Wheelock Street area due to road closures. Officers and firefighters secured the scene, which was blocked off with police tape. Shortly before noon, the state attorney general’s office issued a press release detailing the findings. The release stated that responders found two adults dead and one child alive with a non-life-threatening injury.
The 8-year-old child was transported to an area hospital. Medical staff reported the child is in stable condition and receiving treatment. The state medical examiner’s office is currently conducting autopsies on the two deceased adults to determine the exact causes of death. No further details have been released pending those results.
The incident occurred on Wheelock Road, a residential street in Manchester. Local authorities maintained a perimeter around the property throughout the afternoon. The domestic dispute report triggered the initial police response. The attorney general’s office is leading the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Additional information will be provided as the inquiry progresses and the medical examiner’s findings are finalized.
