BOSTON — An investigation is underway after a “wrapped” body in a “state of decomposition” was hauled out of the water by fishermen off Massachusetts, authorities announced on Sunday.
A fishing vessel in Boston on Friday reported pulling in a body in its nets about 40 miles off the Bay State’s Coast, according to the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office.
The body “was wrapped and in a state of decomposition,” the DA’s office said.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy.
