State police said the man's body was found in the Neponset River near the Neponset Valley Yacht Club at 25 Wharf St. in Milton. Divers were called to the scene just after 9 a.m. and located the corpse just after 11 a.m., authorities said.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will perform an autopsy on the body to determine the cause of death. Police are investigating how he ended up in the frigid river.
