I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area. You need to contact the partner's spouse of who ever was living there to gain permission for access to the house. If you have a problem, you can call the police to explain the situation and the need to go in the house to obtain the items. If you have a further problem i suggest that you hire a lawyer to broker a deal with the police or whoever is in charge of the estate to gain access to the property.
