A man who died in Prospect, which Connecticut State Police called a suspicious death, has been identified.
According to police, 54-year-old Paul McGrath was found Monday morning on Hemlock Drive by a neighbor.
McGrath was in his 22nd year of volunteering for Pop Warner Football and Cheer, they said in a statement on Facebook.
"His volunteer service began as a coach in the Tri-Valley Association where he also served on the Board of Directors. In 2008, Paul made the decision to introduce football and cheer to Naugatuck where he started a Pop Warner program," the post said.

McGrath was just a few days shy of turning 55 years old.
