Investigators try to match missing-person reports with body found near Fairmount Line yesterday

State Police are trying to figure out whose badly decomposed body was found yesterday near the Fairmount Line and the Neponset River by Dana Avenue in Hyde Park, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports:

Given the condition of the remains, identification is expected to take some time, as is the Medical Examiner's determination as to cause and manner of death. The location of the remains is on Department of Conservation and Recreation property, so the investigation will be led by State Police detectives assigned to the Suffolk DA's office, who have jurisdiction over death investigations on State Property inside the City of Boston.
