The Massachusetts State Police Marine Unit is responding to the scene to assist with recovering the body from the water.
Jayakumar's car was found in Boston on Bay State Road near Silber Way shortly after his disappearance. Bay State Road runs parallel to Storrow Drive and ends just before the start of the Esplanade.
The Suffolk County District Attorney said the body did have a wallet and ID, but again they have not publicly identified the person.
