ATKINSON, N.H. -- Brad Delp, the lead singer of the 1970s band Boston, died Friday at his home in Atkinson.

Police are calling Delp's death "untimely," but they said there was no indication of foul play or involvement from drugs or alcohol. Investigators said he was apparently alone at the time of his death.

"Everything seemed to be normal," said Atkinston Police Chief Philip Consentino. "There was nothing disrupted in the house. He was a fairly healthy person from what we're able to ascertain."

Delp's fiancee arrived at his home after 1 p.m. and immediately called for help when she found Delp's body.

Delp sang vocals on Boston's 1976 hits "More than a Feeling" and "Longtime." He also sang on Boston's most recent album, "Corporate America," released in 2002.

The 55-year-old had lived in New Hampshire for decades, according to neighbors.
