A body was discovered in the Charles River at approximately 1 p.m. yesterday. It was found on the Allston side of Eliot Bridge, which connects Soldier’s Field Road in Allston to Cambridge. A jogger reported the finding to Massachusetts State troopers assigned to barracks in Brighton, according to NECN.com. The body was found in a state of some decomposition, so no definitive signs of foul play have yet been identified. An autopsy scheduled to be performed today is expected to reveal more information about the identity of the indiviudal, including its gender and age, according to NECN.com.
This case, like all incidences involving bodies discovered in Boston, will be prosecuted by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office, according to the Boston Police Department.
