The crew of the boat had reported finding the body in its fishing nets about 40 miles from the Massachusetts coast, according to the office of the Suffolk County District Attorney. Coast Guard officials and members of the Massachusetts State Police met up with the boat in Boston on Friday morning.
“The body, which was wrapped and in a state of decomposition, is now with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for autopsy purposes,” a member of the DA’s office said in a statement shared with Nexstar.
The state medical examiner’s office was unable to comment on the investigation, but a spokesperson told Nexstar that “all cases” take 90 days to determine a cause or manner of death.
A representative for the state’s Executive Office of Public Safety and Security was not immediately available for comment.
No additional information had been made public as of Monday morning.
