Police identify body found on beach as missing Malden teen

A body that washed ashore in Plymouth Thursday morning has been identified as an 18-year-old Malden man who went missing last month, according to the Plymouth County District Attorney’s office.

Josue D. Quispe-Alemendro was last seen on October 17 and had been reported missing by his family, authorities said. Workers repairing a seawall at Saquish Beach found his body around 10 a.m., according to the DA’s office.

The Office of the State Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine how Quispe-Alemendro died. The DA’s office does not believe there was any foul play in his death.
