Officials investigating death of 22-year-old in Durham, N.H.

A 22-year-old was found dead inside a Durham, New Hampshire home. Police are calling the death suspicious.

NH State Police were on the scene of the suspicious death in a Durham home near the campus of the University of New Hampshire.

“It’s shocking, I would not expect that to happen in Durham,” said Natalie Davis, a UNH freshman.

Police say they received a call about a disturbance at the house around 1 a.m. on Saturday. Officers found a 22-year-old man dead inside the home when they arrived.

“It’s a very huge shock, not only for us but for the other people who live in the area,” said Ray Celentano, a neighbor.

A spokesperson for UNH said the person who died did not attend the university. Neighbors say some students live there.

Police have released few details about what happened, but detectives said they have identified everyone inside at the time.

Police say there does not appear to a threat to the public.

The attorney general’s office is looking into the possibility that this could be the result of self-defense.

The crime scene tape and heavy police presence all comes as a surprise to students and neighbors looking for answers.

“People are wondering what’s going on here. Nobody’s really sure,” said Davis.

“We’re just waiting to find out a little bit more, of some of the details,” said Celentano.

Police will perform an autopsy on Sunday, which will determine the exact cause and manner of the man’s death.
