1 dead, 1 hospitalized after being found in van on Rehoboth property linked to recent murder case
First responders found the man and woman unresponsive inside a “workstyle van” in which they appeared to be living.
A man died and a woman was hospitalized Friday after they were found unresponsive in a van located at a Rehoboth property where a pregnant teen was allegedly murdered last month, according to officials.
Emergency crews responded to 107 County St. shortly before 7 a.m. for a report of two unresponsive adults, according to Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn’s office. There, first responders found the man and woman inside a “workstyle van” in which they appeared to be living.
Rehoboth EMS pronounced the man dead at the scene and rushed the woman to Morton Hospital, where she was subsequently transported to a hospital in Boston, the DA’s office said in a press release. The pair’s names and ages were not immediately available; Quinn’s office said authorities were still working to notify the man’s next of kin.

While Massachusetts State Police troopers also responded to the scene, Quinn’s office said the matter is not considered suspicious at this time. The DA offered no additional details.
Authorities made a grisly discovery at the same property last month while investigating the disappearance of 18-year-old Kylee Monteiro, a pregnant teen whose boyfriend lived at the Rehoboth home. Gregory Groom, 22, allegedly admitted to stabbing his girlfriend to death and offered detectives a hand-drawn map to where he’d buried her body in the nearby woods.
He has been ordered held without bail.
