Deceased Man Found Along Railroad Tracks In Manchester

Manchester Fire and AMR ambulance were dispatched to the railroad tracks near Depot Street for an unresponsive person on Monday.

Fire and EMS arrived at 11:45 a.m. and found a man who was deceased near the railroad tracks behind WMUR and South of Depot Street. Firefighters requested that Manchester Police respond to the scene.

Detectives worked to document the scene and contacted the NH Office of the Chief Medical Examiner who responded to the scene. The man was removed by a local funeral home after about two hours.

MPD Spokesperson Heather Hamel confirmed that a man was discovered deceased, and the death at this time does not appear to be suspicious. The age and identity of the man were not released by the police.

In May of 2021, two men were found deceased in different locations along the railroad tracks in Manchester. The first person was discovered on May 9th in the area of 780 North Commercial Street.

A body was found along the railroad tracks in the area of South Commercial Street on May 15th. The person was identified as Michael Madden, 64, of Manchester. Police have not released the cause or manner of death but don't consider the death suspicious.

Several deceased were found around Manchester last year, most were labeled as not suspicious. Many of the deaths were homeless individuals and some were apparent overdoses.
