A 54-year-old man found dead in his Manchester home on Monday committed suicide, according to police.
A neighbor went to the home on Bissell Street to check on the man after not seeing him for a few days and found his body late Monday afternoon.
Manchester police Capt. Christopher Davis said police were called to the home around 4 p.m.
Police obtained a search warrant, searched the house and crews remained at the scene until around 2 a.m. on Tuesday. A State Police Major Crime Squad also responded to investigate and process the scene.
Neighbors said police went door-to-door in an effort to learn more about the case, but couldn't glean much information.
"We just don't know what's going on yet," said Jennifer Brundrett, who lives nearby and saw police cars when she was driving through the area.
NBC Connecticut is not releasing the man's name. The medical examiner determined that the death was a suicide.
