Three Skeletal Remains Found in Foreclosed Burlington Home

State police and the chief medical examiner are identifying the bodies as investigators review whether the foreclosure and auction followed required procedures.

Overview

  • A new buyer who purchased the house “as is” at a foreclosure auction discovered three sets of skeletal remains inside and reported them to police on Sunday.
  • Connecticut State Police Western District Major Crime detectives are handling the investigation and say there is no current indication of foul play or danger to the public.
  • The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is working to identify the three people and to determine causes and manners of death, which remain pending.
  • Court records and reporting show the property entered foreclosure in 2025 and neighbors and a marshal said the house appeared long abandoned and was hard to access during service attempts.
  • A court-appointed attorney has filed a motion questioning the validity of the foreclosure and auction after the discovery, a development that could prompt legal review of notice and inspection practices used in the sale.
