New Hampshire lawyer stabbed to death in his home

A New Hampshire man suffered a violent death at his home over the weekend when he was stabbed in the neck and killed, the state attorney general’s office said in a news release on Sunday.

Authorities discovered Alexander Talcott, 41, dead at his home at 98 Bennett Rd. in Durham early Saturday morning, the statement said. An autopsy performed by the state’s chief medical examiner determined that he died from a stab wound to the neck and that his death was a homicide.

“The parties involved in the incident have been identified and, based on information known to investigators, there is no danger to the public,” the prosecutor’s office wrote in the statement.

Authorities are still investigating Talcott’s death, including whether the person who stabbed him was acting in self-defense, the statement said. Officials have not publicly identified who killed Talcott or whether they will face charges.

NBC10 Boston reported that the AG’s office has confirmed that the victim is the same Alexander Talcott known as a Republican activist and attorney.

The state director of the Republican National Lawyers Association, an organization Talcott reportedly worked with, told the news station he was “a strong advocate for the core values ​​of the Republican Party.”

A friend of Talcott’s described him to WMUR as curious and helpful. “He will be truly missed,” Chris Ager told the news channel.

No further information has been released.
