Grantham
Autopsies on Michele and Michael Sbrega were completed on Tuesday, and authorities said “there is no longer an ongoing criminal investigation into” the deaths.
The Sbregas’ bodies were found on Sunday night in their home at 51 Bright Slope Way by a Grantham police officer doing a welfare check.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office says it is not revealing the exact cause of death out of respect for the victims and their families.
“There is no evidence that either individual died as the result of homicidal violence,” the state Attorney General’s Office said in a news release on Tuesday afternoon.
Reached by phone, Director of Public Protection Jane Young added: “This does not appear to be an accident.”
The state police Major Crime Unit arrived at the home near Eastman Lake on Monday morning and spent the majority of the day investigating the deaths.
Michele Issokson Sbrega worked for Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. She was a specialist in clinical trials.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock spokesman Rick Adams declined to comment on Tuesday, citing personnel policies.
A family member in Massachusetts also declined to comment.
Grantham assessing records show the Sbrega home was built in 2005. They have owned it ever since.
The only people at the home on Tuesday morning were workers with the cleaning crew, which arrived on scene on Monday night.
