Concord Police probe deaths of two men, no arrests made

Concord Police are investigating the deaths of two men found outside two days apart.

No arrests have been announced and police said the public faces no apparent danger.

On Monday around 12:25 p.m., police were called to an area under the Water Street bridge near South Main Street and located the body of Blake Erickson within a homeless encampment.

Police did not say how Erickson died.

On Tuesday around 2 p.m., the police responded to a wooded area off Horseshoe Pond Lane for another report of an unattended death.

The body of a man was found near the railroad tracks. His identity and manner of death were not announced.

Both incidents are being actively investigated, police said.

In October, Concord police investigated the shooting death of a 37-year-old woman in a wooded area off Manchester Street, near the Soucook River and the New Hampshire Liquor Outlet, close to the Pembroke town line. The site was near what appeared to be a homeless encampment.

No arrests were made in that case.

The death of Jillian Collins was the third time someone has been shot in the area of a homeless encampment in Concord in 2025. 

Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Concord Police Department at (603) 225-8600.
