Framingham Police Chief Lester Baker has said in a video posted to the department's Facebook page that there is "no reason to believe there is any danger to the public." He added that his department is "working tirelessly to bring the investigation to a close."
Neighbors have said there had been suspicious activity at the property for months.

“There’s an uptick in strangers walking around and you hate to get to the place where everybody is now a suspect,” Larry Swanson said.
The state medical examiner's office was expected to conduct an autopsy on Thursday to make a positive identification and determine the cause of death.
