Police say a man appeared to kill himself near the town mulch pile at Waveny on Wednesday. At about 8:46 p.m. on Aug. 10, New Canaan Police officers were dispatched to that area of Lapham Road on a report of a possible fire in the woods, according to a press release issued by NCPD. “The report of a fire in the woods was called in by a passerby who indicated that a fire was observed off the road and in the woods,” it said. “Responding patrol officers did observe a fire in the woods and as they entered the woods and got closer to the fire, a human body was observed fully engulfed in flames in the supine position.”
The incident “is most likely a suicide,” according to the police press release.
