Law enforcement officials have confirmed a homicide investigation has begun following the suspicious death of a prominent New Hampshire Republican.
The body of Alexander Talcott was found at his Durham home on Saturday morning. An autopsy found he died from a stab wound to the neck.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office confirmed Talcott, 41, served as the state director for the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA), an organization committed to “advancing open, fair and honest elections.”
“The RNLA is at the tip of the spear for our party in courtrooms and polling places all across the country. You ensure that Republicans get a fair shake and that Democrats, hard as this may be for them, play by the rules,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has said, praising the group’s efforts. “When [a] Republican campaign needs a legal brief drafted at 3 a.m. on election night, they call you in their home states.”
NBC Boston has more on Talcott’s homicide, including remarks from William L. O’Brien, the former speaker of New Hampshire’s House of Representatives:
“His unwavering belief in liberty, free markets, and limited government resonated deeply in his role as a lawyer. Within the RNLA, his leadership was unwavering in promoting our shared values, ensuring every member felt empowered and well-prepared,” William O’Brien said of Talcott.
“Alex was an exceptionally skilled champion for the rule of law and the importance of fair and honest elections. We will forever honor Alex’s selfless dedication and profound contributions to our shared vision of liberty through legal processes,” O’Brien added. “His legacy will undoubtedly inspire future generations within the RNLA and the greater legal community.”
Talcott was found dead in his Bennett Road home early Saturday morning. There were numerous police vehicles on scene, and the attorney general’s office said at the time they were actively investigating a man’s suspicious death at the residence.

Investigators are continuing to look at whether or not the person who stabbed Talcott was acting in self-defense, officials said. Their name has not been released.
Further information is not publicly available at this time.
