Body Discovered at Somersworth, NH Burger King
Workers on the breakfast shift at Burger King in Somersworth discovered a dead body on the property Thursday morning.
Emergency rescue crews were called to the restaurant on High Street at 6:43 a.m. for a reported male subject who was not conscious and not breathing outside the restaurant.
Upon arrival, crews determined that the 27-year-old man was deceased.
The identity of the man is not being released at this time.
Police Chief David Kretschmar issued a press release that said it appears that the man died of a drug overdose, but an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of the man's death.
Workers at the restaurant were shaken after the scene was cleared.
"It's a rough way to start the day," Manager Brenda Bourdon told Seacoast Current.
Bourdon did not know anything about the individual.
"Just an unfortunate young man," she said.
