MacDonald said the woman was pronounced dead at the scene and that she was found underneath a six car train inside the station.

The Globe reports authorities think a body discovered at Boston Sand and Gravel is that of a man who abandoned his car on the ramp connecting the Tobin with the Zakim last night.

A spokesman for the Suffolk County DA's office says state police are looking at how the 44-year-old Chelsea resident wound up there, but that foul play is not suspected.

Boston Police report a Worcester man ordered some scallops and a chicken lobster at the deli department at the Hyde Park Avenue Shaw's yesterday, then put them in his shorts. Unfortunately for him, police say, store employees noticed his newly enlarged package as he tried to walk out of the store without paying and detained him until police arrived to put the pinch on him.

No word if the store put the seafood back or if police held it for evidence.

Boston Police also report on some trashy neighbors at 84 Bunker Hill St., Charlestown:
