Body of East Boston Man Found in Revere Back Yard

A preliminary investigation did not suggest foul play.

A body was discovered in a Revere back yard Monday morning, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.

Authorities identified the victim, a 40-year-old East Boston man, through his fingerprints on Monday. However, his identity is not being released at this time, as there were no immediate signs of violence and a preliminary investigation did not suggest foul play, according to the DA’s office.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is working to determine the cause, manner, and approximate time of death.

Revere Police declined requests for comment on the incident.
