State police said there was “no reason to believe” the discovery of two men dead Saturday in the towns of Portland and Randolph hours apart are related.

Autopsies were scheduled for the bodies after passersby in both towns discovered them and notified police.

The first, a man believed to be in his 40s or 50s, was found near Corell Creek off Route 20 in Portland around 3:20 p.m., across the bridge from the town park. About two hours later, another man was found dead about 35 miles away on Swanson Hill Road in Randolph.

The Sate Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation based at the Jamestown barracks responded to both incidents. The cause of deaths and identities of the men were pending the autopsies at the Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo.

Capt. Eric Balon of the NYSP said police do not believe the deaths are related, but couldn’t provide additional information. He said more would be released when it became available.

In addition, neither death is believed to be connected to the disappearance of 35-year-old Sean Carpenter, the Jamestown man last seen early April 11. Jamestown police were made aware of both discoveries Saturday, but were told by state police neither were connected to their missing person case.

Carpenter, a native of Warren, Pa., was reportedly walking toward his home on Superior Street in the city when he last he made contact with a friend. He has not been seen or heard from since, despite several searches.

“We’re still actively seeking information on the whereabouts of Sean Carpenter,” Capt. Robert Samuelson of the Jamestown Police Department told The Post-Journal.
