KEENE – A husband and wife found dead in a Keene home Tuesday morning both appeared to have suffered gunshot wounds, according to a news release from Attorney General John Formella.

Formella and Keene Police Chief Steven M. Stewart announced the deaths as being investigated as a potential murder suicide, but didn’t identify the couple by name.

“At approximately 11:10 A.M. on June 16, 2026, officers of the Keene Police Department responded to a home on Hurricane Road in Keene to conduct a welfare check on the occupants.  Upon making entry inside the home, officers found the bodies of the two adult residents, a female, age 70, and her husband, a male, age 72,” according to a release from Formella’s office.

Both residents were pronounced dead at the scene. 

Autopsies are scheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Concord, New Hampshire.

While the investigation is still ongoing, there is no known threat to the general public at this time.

No further information is expected this evening.  An additional news release is expected once both autopsies have been conducted.
