AG investigating death of woman found dead inside home in Salem, NH

SALEM, NH — Police say a woman in her 80s was found dead inside a home in New Hampshire and her remains may have been there for at least a year.

The Union Leader reports a man delivering pizza to a Brookdale Road home in Salem called police to request a welfare check after he was asked to slide a pizza through a window.

The paper reported the victim's son was living in the home but could not move because of a serious leg infection. Rescue crews had to remove him from the home and that's when the woman's remains were reportedly discovered.

The New Hampshire Attorney General's office is investigating the death, which it described as "untimely."
