Hunters find 2 bodies near vehicle deep in Mass. woods, police say

The remains of two people were found in the woods of Fall River, Massachusetts, by hunters on Saturday morning, police said.

The hunters, out for the pheasant hunting season’s opening, called police when they found a vehicle deep in the woods, with the remains of two people around it, Fall River police said.

Officers arrived and called in crime scene-investigating detectives, who were processing the scene Saturday, police said.

They said the preliminary investigation suggest no outside actors were involved in the deaths, but didn’t share more as the investigation continued, including who the people were or how they died.

The remains were skeletal, and a suicide note was found at the scene, by a small Honda Accord off an access road in the Freetown State Forest, the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office said.

Prosecutors didn’t share details about the note, and the cause and manner of the deaths wasn’t announced — autopsies were pending on the two bodies.
