South Burlington police are investigating the death of a man found unresponsive in a City Hall bathroom early Monday morning.
Emergency responders were called to 180 Market Street, home of the South Burlington City Hall, around 6:05 a.m. on November 4 after someone discovered an unresponsive adult male in a first-floor restroom. Emergency medical personnel pronounced the man dead at the scene.
