Authorities say they are investigating a suspicious death that was reported Wednesday night in Framingham, Massachusetts.
The Middlesex District Attorney's Office said Framingham police responded to a home on Fenwick Street at 6 p.m. Wednesday after receiving an anonymous 911 call. When they arrived, they found a man dead inside the home with apparent trauma to his body.
A search warrant was later executed at the residence, but the district attorney's office didn't say what, if anything, was found.
“It’s stunning to say the least,” said neighbor Larry Swanson.
Multiple neighbors said there had been suspicious activity at the property for months.
They say squatters had been living in the home, and neighbors had taken it upon themselves to try and have the people evicted.
“There’s an uptick in strangers walking around and you hate to get to the place where everybody is now a suspect,” said Swanson.
The state medical examiner's office was expected to conduct an autopsy on Thursday to make a positive identification and determine the cause of death.
Framingham Police Chief Lester Baker said in a video posted to the department's Facebook page that there is "no reason to believe there is any danger to the public." He added that his department is "working tirelessly to bring the investigation to a close."
The investigation is being conducted by the district attorney's office, Framingham police and state police detectives assigned to the district attorney.
No further details were released.
