Death investigation prompts large emergency response along Neponset River in Milton

MILTON, Mass — Authorities are investigating after a body was found in the Neponset River in Milton Tuesday morning, state police say.

Massachusetts State Police troopers and detectives responded to the banks of Neponset River around 9:10 a.m. after the partially submerged body of a man was found, an MSP spokesperson told Boston 25.

Members of the Marine and Dive teams responded to the scene and pulled the body out of the river around 11:00 a.m., MSP says.

Police say the body appeared to be in the water for a long time and while a medical examiner will need to make a final determination, the man had ID matching that of a male in his 50s who had been missing since December.

A line of police vehicles could be seen near the Neponset Yacht Club on Granite Avenue.
