Boston police responded to an 'investigate person' call at 25 Malta St. in Mattapan on Saturday afternoon and found a deceased individual. The property is owned by Conan Harris, husband of Rep. Ayanna Pressley, and is under investigation by the homicide unit with no indication of foul play reported. The deceased's identity has not been released.
The incident is a private family matter under routine review with no signs of wrongdoing, consistent with standard procedures even absent foul play.
