Authorities in Medford, Massachusetts, are investigating the death of a Medford woman after her body was found in an enclosed area behind her home.
The victim's son, who is in his 20s, called Medford police at about 6:40 a.m. to report that he could not find his mother after waking up. The young man said he last saw his mother at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the home, which they shared. He said he believed that at that time that she was going to leave the house to go to a nail appointment. A police officer later found her body in a recycling bin near a rear porch of her home, which is a duplex located near the campus of Tufts University.
Based on the circumstances and the location of the body, this is being investigated as a suspicious death. The district attorney announced that the victim's body had no obvious signs of trauma.
