Authorities Schedule Autopsy

The body of the Massachusetts man has been taken to the Medical Examiner’s Office, and an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.

The Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office has also assigned state troopers to investigate the Massachusetts man’s death, alone with Cohasset detectives. Currently, the man’s name has not been released.

Cohasset is a small seaside town with a population of fewer than 9,000 residents. This news comes on the heels of a recent indictment of Brian Walshe, husband of Ana Walshe, who has been  missing since January 1.

Though nobody has been recovered, Brian Walshe has been indicted by a Massachusetts grand jury for his alleged involvement in his wife’s murder. It is not determined if the two cases are related.

The Cohasset Police Department has not released any additional information about the Massachusetts man at this time. The investigation into the Massachusetts man’s death is ongoing, and more details may emerge as the investigation continues.
