Two bodies have been found “in a lengthy stage of decomposition” in the home of former Rhode Island mayor Susan Menard, police said.
A neighbor called police shortly after 4 p.m. Monday saying he hadn't seen the elderly couple who lived in the residence on Marian Lane in Woonsocket in about a week and a strong odor was coming from the home, Woonsocket Police Chief Thomas Oates said.
The residence belonged to Susan Menard, Oates said, Woonsocket's longest serving mayor who was in office from 1995 to 2009, according to the city’s website.
Officers responded to the home and ended up forcing entry. Once inside, they located two people deceased, one male and one female.
Oates said due to their state of decomposition, they couldn't be positively identified.
