Patrick Kenney Jr. was found with a knife wound outside of the 948 Broadway restaurant just after 9 p.m., the Essex District Attorney's Office said. Paramedics rushed him to Mass General Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.

Police believe the incident was accidental, and no other people were involved in the stabbing. WCVB reported that Kenney kept a knife on a chain around his neck, and that was what killed him.

The death is under investigation.
