Authorities in Massachusetts are working to establish the identity of an individual discovered in the water near the Encore Boston Harbor casino over the weekend. 

The body will probably receive an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death. 

Casino security personnel found the individual at approximately 11 a.m. Saturday, as reported by Massachusetts television station WCVB. They swiftly notified officers from the Everett Police Department, who began an investigation. The inquiry received assistance from the Everett Fire Department and Massachusetts State Police. 

There’s no information on how long the body had been in the water prior to being recovered, and it’s unclear if the individual possessed any identification when found.
