Investigators trying to identify a man’s body discovered last month floating in the Charles River have turned to the public for help.
Authorities have described the body as that of a pale-skinned white man who was approximately 60 years old, 5-foot-8 and 200 pounds, Suffolk County DA Daniel Conley reported. He was bald except for white hair on the sides of his head and white facial hair. RELATED:Body found in Charles River
The body was discovered floating along the Esplanade near the Hatch Memorial Shell on March 10 around 12:30 p.m., Conley stated. The man had a backpack but no personal papers to establish his identity. He was wearing a dark Carhartt cap, light-colored pants, a blue sweater and a gray Abercrombie & Fitch hoodie with faded yellow lettering, according to the district attorney, who released a photo of the hoodie in an effort to identify the body. An autopsy did not indicate that the body had sustained any violent trauma, Conley added.
