A heavy police presence was there when the body, wrapped in a tarp, was removed from the boat … with Massachusetts State Police and Massport cops, in addition to the fire department and EMTs.
As you can see, there was a lot of curiosity … folks were standing over the edge of the pier looking at the boat deck before the body was hoisted up and taken away for an autopsy.
TMZ broke the story … the fishermen caught the body in their net on Wednesday, pulling it in about 40 miles off the coast of Massachusetts.
The body was wrapped and is badly decomposed … and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office says they can’t confirm the name, age or even gender.
Prosecutors say it’s unclear if this is a homicide, telling us … “No conclusions at this point.”
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is also investigating.
