Investigators found a car in Weymouth a week prior outside of the South Shore Hospital’s emergency room entrance. 27-year0old Declan Perry’s body was found in the backseat.

CBS 13 reports that according to the DA Perry’s body was wrapped in blankets and duct tape. They said that the suspect drove the car where Perry’s body was found, alerted medical staff, and ran from the area before police could arrive.
