A group of fishermen pulled a dead body out of the water while on a fishing vessel off the coast of Massachusetts.
The fishermen were out in the water last week Wednesday, March 5, when they made the discovery.
The crew wasn’t pulling up much fish that morning and they were surprised when one particular net was so heavy — with tons of fish covering the body.
According to TMZ, the people onboard the vessel didn’t know there was a body in their catch until they started picking through the pile of fish and found the body.
They reported the discovery to the Coast Guard.
Photos of the body were shared by the publication. It appears to be a person in a suit with a strap encircling their body, keeping their arms to the sides.
The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said they are aware of the body, though as of right now they can’t confirm the name, age or even gender.
As to whether they’re treating this as a potential homicide, the D.A. says, “No conclusions at this point. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is conducting an autopsy. That may help provide some answers.”
