An adult male died in town on October 23, following a call for help that drew multiple first responder agencies.

Newtown Police Department responded to a High Bridge Road residence around 5:45 pm Friday, October 23.

According to a press release issued last week, the response was for a medical emergency. An adult male was located on the scene and transported to Danbury Hospital by Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps. The man was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

The identification of the man has not been released.

Newtown Police Department’s Detective Division and the Connecticut State Police Western District Major Crime Squad also responded to the scene to investigate the incident.

Around 7:15 pm October 23, Newtown PD posted on Facebook, saying officers were investigating an incident in the High Bridge Road area. The public was asked to remain clear of the area so that officers could safely conduct the investigation.

The post noted there was “no reason for public concern and no threat to the community.”
