ELLSWORTH, Maine — Ellsworth Police along with the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit are responding to a house in Ellsworth for what's being called a "suspicious" death.
Ellsworth Police Chief Glenn Moshier told NEWS CENTER Maine they were called to the home on Bayside Road for a well-being check just before 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Moshier said a woman was found dead when they arrived and there were some suspicious circumstances that made them call in the State Police to help determine the exact cause of death.
"I'm a little scared about it because we don't know what's happening over there and I am concerned for the family and I want to know what happened to them," neighbor Belinda Ellis said.
In an update from the Maine State Police Tuesday afternoon, spokesperson Shannon Moss said an autopsy will take place on Wednesday at the Office of the Medical Examiner in Augusta. More information will be available afterward.
Authorities say there is no danger to the public at this time.
