At least one of two men found dead at the side of I-384, one in Bolton and the other in Manchester, over the weekend had been wrapped in plastic, police sources said this morning.

Police are waiting for the results of the autopsies, which are scheduled for today, before they release more information about the gruesome discoveries -- less than two miles apart -- by passing motorists Sunday morning.

Police continue to investigate a puzzling double homicide in which the two male victims, at least one of them wrapped in plastic, were left at the side of westbound I-384, one in Bolton and the other in Manchester, less than 2 miles apart.

Eric T. Kimberly, 37, whose last known address was in Torrington, died of a blunt force injury, state police said. A passing motorist found Brown's body at Exit 4 about 5 a.m. It was lying partially on the ramp to I-384 west from Highland Street, police said. A different motorist found Kimberly's body in a grassy area near the Exit 5 on-ramp at Bolton Center Road in Bolton about 7 a.m., police said.
