Investigation underway after body of man found in South Boston
Police responded to the scene just before 9 a.m. on Monday.
Boston police are investigating after the body of a man in his 20s was discovered in South Boston on Monday morning.
Officers responded to 550 East Broadway just before 9 a.m. after a report of a body found nearby, a police spokeswoman told Boston.com.
A man who lives in the area told 7News he discovered the body at the bottom of the stairs leading to his building’s basement.
“I looked to the side and I just saw a body at the bottom of the stairs, and I called out to him a little bit and didn’t get anything, and I saw the color of his skin, and pretty much assumed, I nudged him a little bit with my foot to try to get him to wake up, but he was stiff as a board,” the neighbor told the station.
