BOURNE, Mass. — A vehicle that was found abandoned at a beach on Cape Cod late Sunday night led to the discovery of a dead body, law enforcement officials said.
Troopers responding to a report of an abandoned vehicle in the Sagamore Hill area of Scusset Beach Reservation in Bourne shortly before midnight launched an investigation, according to Massachusetts State Police.
A subsequent search of the area by troopers, Department of Conservation and Recreation officials, and the Plymouth Sheriff’s Office led to the discovery of a man’s body, state police said.
The deceased individual is believed to be connected to the abandoned vehicle, investigators noted.
Foul play wasn’t believed to be a factor as of Monday morning.
The state police detective unit for the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office and the state police crime scene services section are leading an investigation.
