Overview
- A buyer who purchased the foreclosed property “as is” at auction discovered human skeletal remains inside the house and reported them to police.
- State Police say detectives are leading the active investigation at 7 Stanwich Lane in Burlington and that the discovery appears to be an isolated incident.
- The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is tasked with identifying the three deceased and determining their causes of death and has not yet released findings.
- Police have said there is no current indication of foul play and that the public is not in danger, according to the official press release.
- Buying a property “as is” means the buyer accepts the home in its current condition, which explains why the remains were found during the new owner’s inspection and why forensic work could take time before officials release more information.
