Barret Rappold, age 40, was found outside his James Lane home near the intersection with Cushing Road around 6:15 a.m., Massachusetts State Police said on Monday.
Rappold was listed as the owner of Rappold Construction and was a contractor with more than 15 years in the business, he said on the company's website.
A person who listed Rappold as his boss called him a "wonderful human being" in a Facebook post.
Police do not suspect foul play in Rappold's death. The Medical Examiner's Office had planned to complete an autopsy, though it's unclear when that is scheduled.
