Vermont State Police investigates suspicious death in Corinth

CORINTH, Vermont (Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026) — The Vermont State Police is investigating a suspicious death in the Orange County town of Corinth.

The investigation began at about 11:15 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, when police received a 911 call reporting a man had been shot at a home on Richardson Road.

The victim's body will be brought to the Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Burlington for an autopsy to determine cause and manner of death. The state police will release the identity of the deceased man following further investigation and notification of his relatives.

This investigation is in its initial stages and involves members of the Vermont State Police Major Crime Unit, Bureau of Criminal Investigations, Crime Scene Search Team, Field Force Division and Victim Services Unit.
