Police are investigating what they are calling the untimely death of a 54-year-old woman found on a Simsbury, Connecticut, road on Thursday night.
Melissa Millan, 54, of Simsbury, was a senior vice president with MassMutual Insurance Company.
She was found lying on Iron Horse Boulevard, between Phelps Lane and Pent Road, around 8 p.m. on Thursday and an ambulance rushed her to St. Francis Hospital, where she died a short time later.
No one who was at Millan's home wanted to speak, but neighbors said Millan was the mother of a 12-year-old child.
“MassMutual is deeply saddened by the passing of our friend and colleague, Melissa Millan, Senior Vice President. Our thoughts and prayers are with Melissa’s family during this extremely difficult time," a statement from the company says. "Melissa’s tremendous leadership qualities, business acumen and deeply caring nature will be missed by those who had the opportunity to work with her.”
Millan might have been out walking or jogging, according to investigators. Police originally said they thought this was a hit-and-run case, but now they are investigating all possibilities and trying to determine where Millan had been and who she was with.
"We're currently trying to follow all of our leads and get as much information as we possibly can about how this happened," Capt Nick Boulter, of Simsbury police, said.
