Stamford Police announced that upon completion of the scene processing at 263 Oaklawn by the Connecticut State Police, the body of an unidentified deceased individual was removed from the residence and transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
The Office of the Medical Examiner performed an autopsy on the unidentified individual and determined the cause of death to be “blunt impact injuries of the head and torso with gagging” and the manner of death to be “homicide.”
The deceased male was identified as Carmine Boccuzzi, 79, through D.N.A comparison with a family member.
Last week, Boccuzzi’s remains were discovered on the second floor of the house on Oaklawn after a standoff between police and shootout with the homeowner.
Police say their investigation is active and ongoing. Additional information will be released as it becomes available and when appropriate to do so.
The Stamford Police Department is asking anyone who may have information related to this incident to contact Sgt Sean Boeger of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation Major Crimes Unit 203-977-4421.
