WBZ reports an autopsy was completed yesterday on the body of BPD Ofr. John O'Keefe, who had apparently been outside the Canton house of people he knew for several hours on Saturday, but that officials declined to release results and said their investigation into his death continues. O'Keefe, who lived in Canton, had been on the force for 16 years.

What’s the point of posting his salary?
Weird few months for cop related incidents
First that family gets run over mysteriously by the driver hoping the fence with their truck in West Roxbury now this.
There have been no updates on who hit those toddlers and why they weren't charged, right?
Autopsy results
The autopsy results were held because they "didn't yield information suitable for dissemination at this time".
Someone want to translate that to English? Like what would have been suitable at this time? Gunshot wound?
What wouldn't? Drugs?
Probably possible crime vs. not?
I assume that if he'd been shot or stabbed, then it's suitable for release. If he was just outside for some random reason (say to smoke a cigarette, then he fell on ice and got knocked out, froze to deathetc..), it's no-one's business and just a tragic accident. There's no inherent reason for autopsy results to be public.
Arrest made
