New Hampshire law enforcement is offering few details about the stabbing death of Republican legal activist Alex Talcott.
Talcott, 41, was discovered stabbed to death inside his home in Durham, New Hampshire, on Saturday morning. His death was ruled a homicide after the medical examiner determined the cause of death was a “stab wound to the neck,” the New Hampshire Department of Justice said in a statement.
Police, meanwhile, indicated they know who stabbed Talcott but are not releasing the identity of the person responsible.
“The parties involved in the incident have been identified and based on the information known to investigators there is no danger to the public,” the NH DOJ said in a statement. “The investigation into Mr. Talcott’s death is ongoing and includes whether the person who stabbed Mr. Talcott acted in self-defense.”
First responders were dispatched to the home early Saturday morning in response to a “domestic disturbance involving a knife,” according to the Boston Globe. Peter Hinckley, a senior assistant attorney general, told the Globe that detectives found no signs of forced entry and only identified two people involved in the incident: Talcott and the person who stabbed him.
Talcott lived at the home with his wife and three children.
Police have said the investigation remains ongoing, but authorities have not provided additional details about the incident.

Talcott is remembered as a genuine friend and advocate of liberty.
“Alex stands out in our memory as a staunch advocate for the core values of the Republican Party,” said William O’Brien, state leader of the New Hampshire Republican National Lawyers Association. “His unwavering belief in liberty, free markets, and limited government resonated deeply in his role as a lawyer. … His legacy will undoubtedly inspire future generations within the RNLA and the greater legal community.”
Chris Ager, chairman of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, told WMUR-TV that he will miss his friend.
“He always wanted to do more and he was very helpful. He wanted to help. He came to me many times just asking, ‘Hey Chris, how can I help?’ Never asking for anything in return. He was that kind of person,” Ager told the news outlet. “We’re really going to miss him a lot.”
