Remains Found in Norwich Woods in April Identified

Police have identified the man whose remains were found in a wooded area of Norwich in April as 50-year-old Kenneth Suter, of Norwich, and said they are investigating but do not suspect foul play.

Norwich police received a 911 call around 6:30 p.m. on April 8 about a possible dead body in a wooded area off of Norwich Avenue, near Hunter’s Road. 

When officers arrived, two children who were playing in the area led them to the remains, police said, and Suter appeared to have been dead for at least six months.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner performed an autopsy and the results were undetermined, but DNA testing revealed the remains were of Suter, who was 50 when he died, Norwich police said. 

Police continue to investigate.
