Boston Police tonight are painting a different picture of the conditions inside an apartment at 381 Old Colony Ave. in which they found a dead body Saturday morning than the one that had percolated in the local media and prompted condemnations by, among others, City Councilors Ed Flynn and Michael Flaherty.
Information that drugs and other concerning materials were strewn about the home is not supported by what officers encountered or by the information received on scene.
Police say officers responded to the apartment shortly after 11 a.m. after being called by adults there when they realized a friend had stopped breathing. The people who called were "fully cooperative" with the officers, police say.
There were four children on site who all had a parent present in the residence. The parents and the officers who responded felt it was best for the children to stay in another room with one of the parents and took steps to avoid having the children see the deceased. Due to the nature of the call, and to ensure appropriate follow up with the families involved, officers did file a 51A with DCF.

Did they also mention that some left turns on red are not concerning?
This is the opposite of the Jussie Smollett case

Some of the press knew his claim was fake but covered it like it happened, this case seems like some of the press knows something bad happened but they are covering it as if it was a simple heart attack.
My two cents.
my opinion of possible order of events:

trying to make sense of sumthing that makes no sense:
this is the most positive timeline likely... the other real possibility is that the yung kids were used and molested during the adult party. not investigating this very real and dangerous possibility seems irresponsible.
Probably not even that

As someone who routinely experiences transphobia and supports fellow trans folks at work, my experiences are making me think probably not.
I've explained this a few times, but Adam doesn't usually let my comments through.
There is definite transphobic bias here. The firefighters referred to people who "appeared to be men" rather than asking them their gender/pronouns and respecting what was shared. First responders absolutely never qualify their gendering of people, so this was the first transphobic dog whistle i.e. "you say you're male but I'm a transphobe so you aren't."
Transphobic folks will often refer to things like wigs, breast forms, binders, tucking garments, pride swag, preschool picture books on gender topics as "sex items."
I think it's more likely some trans people were socializing without anything sexual occurring.
