Autopsies Find Tuftonboro Couple Died by Hypothermia in Suicides

Officials say no further details are expected.

Overview

  • Autopsies by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner Monday determined that David Warren, 79, and Rae Lynn Warren, 78, died of environmental hypothermia and that each death was a suicide.
  • A neighbor found the married homeowners Saturday morning behind a camp on their property at 40 Governor Wentworth Highway in Tuftonboro.
  • Police first treated the case as a possible murder-suicide before the autopsy results clarified the cause and manner of death.
  • Tuftonboro police, the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, and the State Police Major Crime Unit responded to the scene.
  • The home is a single-family summer residence near Lake Winnipesaukee in a town that has about 2,500 year-round residents and roughly doubles in population in summer.
