Overview

  • A new buyer found three sets of skeletal remains inside a Stanwich Lane house on Sunday after purchasing the property at a public foreclosure auction earlier this month, Connecticut state police said.
  • State police say there is no indication of foul play and that the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is still working to identify the three people and determine cause and manner of death.
  • Records show the home had signs of long neglect, responders logged an audible fire alarm on May 23 that crews could not enter to investigate, and town filings say attempts to contact the owners during the foreclosure were unsuccessful.
  • The court‑appointed attorney overseeing the sale filed a motion saying the discovery raises doubts about the foreclosure judgment and asked the court for guidance about the auction’s status and the winning bidder’s deposit.
  • Foreclosure auctions sell properties “as‑is” and bidders are not always given interior access, a practice that can leave conditions inside unverified and could prompt changes to how courts or servicers handle similar sales.
