Authorities are investigating the suspicious death of a 54-year-old man who was found dead in a Manchester, Connecticut, home on Monday.

A neighbor went to the home at 59 Bissell Street to check on the man and found his body late Monday afternoon.

Manchester police Capt. Christopher Davis said police were called to the home around 4 p.m.

"A neighbor had come in and found an individual deceased," Davis said. "At this point, we're treating it as a suspicious death."

Police obtained a search warrant, searched the house and crews remained at the scene until around 2 a.m. on Tuesday. A State Police Major Crime Squad also responded to investigate and process the scene.

Neighbors said police went door-to-door in an effort to learn more about the case, but couldn't glean much information.

"We just don't know what's going on yet," said Jennifer Brundrett, who lives nearby and saw police cars when she was driving through the area.

The man has not been publicly identified.

Detectives have left the scene, but the area was still cordoned off with caution tape on Tuesday morning. The cause of the man's death is unknown, but the untimely death investigation is ongoing.
