Exeter police investigate death of homeless man, but it is not considered suspicious

While not considered suspicious, police continue to investigate and are looking for more information.

Police Chief Stephan Poulin urged those in need of shelter to reach out to the town’s welfare office.

“This tragedy brings to light the ‘dark figure’ of homelessness,” the chief wrote. “In smaller or more rural communities the homeless often go undetected, staying in vehicles, or temporary tents/shelters hidden away in the woods or fields. Unfortunately, this can hinder the ability of the community and professional people with resources to help and offer appropriate assistance to those in need.”

Anyone with information on the death of the man can call police at 603-772-1212.
