State Police assigned to Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley’s office are investigating the discovery of a dead body near Interstate 93 southbound in Boston’s South End last night.

State Police responded at about 9:30 p.m. to find the remains of a white male in what appeared to be a makeshift shelter underneath the Albany Street off ramp. There were no outward signs of trauma and no signs of violence at the scene, but the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy today to determine cause and manner of death.

The deceased has been tentatively identified as a 45-year-old homeless man, but investigators are not releasing his identity until it has been confirmed and next of kin can be notified.

State Police assigned to Conley’s office investigate all unattended deaths and homicides on state highways, waterways, and property within the City of Boston.
