I work in Texas, and don't know the disclosure laws in Connecticut. Here is how it works in Texas though.
If either the seller or the Realtor are aware of the following kinds of death on the property, they must disclose. Deaths due to violence or due to "condition of property" - like if someone fell off the roof because the gutter gave way, or a railing broke and someone fell to their death, or the bricks above the fireplace fell on someone and killed them.
If someone died of old age, cancer, aids, etc. there is no requirement to disclose, and it probably would not be disclosed.
Since people nowadays go home from the hospital to die, if you must have a house in which nobody died, I suggest you buy a new one.

One might never know unless the neighbours mention something who were about there as long as the home existed or the purchaser him or herself is living around the area and knew for sure what went on, the sellers may never disclose anything because is afraid the property may not get sold, you could perhaps get information from the police station, you could explain that you wanted to purchase such and such property but curious if any kind of crime /death was ever reported been done at such property may be you will find out some thing .

How does that affect whether or not you are going to purchase a home? If you don't search for it, and you don't know about it, then it will never affect you. You shouldn't base whether or not you like a property on what someone else may have done there.

LEAGALLY the realitor has to tell you if someone has died in the house to you buying it. This is a SERIOUS factor for allot of people believe it or not. You can call your local Police Dept or Commerce. They may be able to guide you to the proper dept for this information. Good luck
I'm with you on this one. I would like to know too!
