Man Found On Daniel Webster Highway Identified

MERRIMACK, NH — The body of a man found yesterday morning on the Daniel Webster Highway has been identified, according to Merrimack Police. Matthew Bailey, 25, of Webster, was found at just after 7 a.m. March 6, 2018, after police and fire and rescue teams received a report of a man that was unresponsive on the side of the road. According to Capt. Brian Levesque, when first responders arrived, they found a man in his mid-20s who was deceased.

“The New Hampshire Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene and with the assistance of the Nashua Police Department, the deceased was identified as Matthew Bailey,” he noted. “An autopsy was performed on March 7, and the cause of death is pending toxicology. At this time it appears that the death may have been the result of an overdose.”

Second Man Found Dead

Earlier today, according to Levesque, police and firefighters were also called to the Quality Inn for a report of a man who was found unresponsive. The 49-year-old was determined later to be deceased. Identification has not been released and won’t be until the next of kin has been contacted.

An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death. The death does not appear to be suspicious in nature, Levesque said.
