1 dead in weekend Windsor fire, situation under investigation

“If they do a toxicology, we won’t hear back probably for four to six weeks on that,” said Daniels.

Fire response and evacuations

Police visited the Kennedy Drive home earlier Saturday morning for an unrelated reason in an attempt to make contact with Michael Place, though not due to an emergency or call for assistance.

“We didn’t make any contact with him, the deceased; he didn’t answer the door,” said Daniels, who added that the visit was not due to concern for the resident’s safety.

A Saturday news release by Windsor Police indicated that no foul play is suspected in the death.

West Windsor, Claremont, Hartford, Weathersfield and Cornish fire departments also assisted Windsor Police and Fire at the scene.
