QUINCY MAN’S BODY RECOVERED FROM RIVER

The body of a Quincy man missing since Oct. 8 was pulled from the Charles River early this morning and State Police are investigating his death, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said today.

Boston Police officers spotted the remains of William D. Hurley, 24, at about 2:00 this morning near Nashua Street. The officers notified the Boston Police Marine Unit, which took the body from the water. State Police detectives assigned to Conley’s office are leading the death investigation, however, because the Charles River is a state waterway.

Conley said Hurley’s wallet and personal effects – including cash – were on his person when he was pulled from the water. Investigators noted that there was no fence or barrier at the water’s edge near where Hurley’s body was found.

A preliminary examination today by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner did not reveal any significant trauma, investigators said, though additional toxicological tests will also be conducted. Those results could take several weeks.
