Boston police officer found dead outside Canton home, DA says

Authorities are investigating after a Boston police officer was found dead outside a Canton home early Saturday morning, Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s office said.

The officer was found outside a home on Fairview Road occupied by people he knew, according to David Traub, a spokesman for the district attorney’s office.

“He appeared to have been in the cold for some period and was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital,” where he was pronounced dead, Traub said in an e-mail Sunday. “The circumstances of his death are still under investigation and do not appear to be definitively known.”
