Moss says authorities were called to the Lincoln residence just after 9 AM on Wednesday for the report of gunshots. When police arrived on scene they discovered Nadeau's body and had it transported to Augusta for an autopsy.

The State Police Major Crimes Unit North and the Evidence Response Team processed the home and conducted interviews.

Authorities believe there is no ongoing public safety concern at this and that this was an isolated incident.
