Suspicious Death Investigation

On March 21, 2023 at approximately 11:15 am Wilton Dispatch received a 911 call from a caller stating that their neighbor was found deceased.  Officers responded to the residence, locating a male in the detached garage on the property.  The male was not breathing, appearing to have endured significant trauma, and was pronounced deceased at the scene by the paramedic. 

The department has detained a person of interest while the investigation is active and ongoing at this time.  There currently are no outstanding threats to public safety.  Out of respect for the deceased and their family we are not releasing the decedents information until appropriate next to kin notifications can be made. 

The next update on the investigation will not occur until tomorrow, but we reiterate that there is no active threat to the public.
