A grim discovery was made early Saturday morning in Plymouth when a man's body was pulled from the waters at Nelson Memorial Park, according to local police reports.
The Plymouth Police Department responded to a 911 call at about 8:30 a.m. reporting an "unresponsive male party facedown in the water", who was later found in a marshy area along Water Street, the quiet turned scene of a most unfortunate event, the man, a 47-year-old whose name has not been released, appeared to have been deceased for some time before EMS pronounced him dead at the scene, NBC Boston reported.
While the incident stirred some intrigue among the locals, the Plymouth district attorney’s office moved quickly to alleviate any fears of a criminal threat, stating that foul play is not suspected in the man's death. The identity of the man is currently withheld, pending notification of next of kin, and police have reassured the community that "at this time there is no concern to the public," as The Boston Globe noted in their coverage.
Authorities, including the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, are awaiting autopsy results to ascertain the cause and manner of death.
