(NECN: Boston, Mass.) - A body has been discovered in the Charles River in the area of the Eliot Bridge. Massachusetts State Troopers assigned to the Brighton barracks observed the body after a jogger walked in and reported it shortly before 1pm this afternoon. Signs of trauma or foul play were not immediately detected, though the state of decomposition could have hindered them. More details are expected to be released, including gender and approximate age, after an autopsy tomorrow.
