A wrapped body that was snagged last week by fishermen off the coast of Massachusetts is now believed to be a woman who was 'buried at sea.'

The fishing vessel said the body came up in the fishing nets around 40 miles off of the Massachusetts coast, the DA said. The body “was wrapped and in a state of decomposition,” the DA’s office said, which is with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy.

The Coast Guard is investigating after a group of fishermen working about 40 miles outside of Boston pulled a body out of the ocean with their fishing net 7. The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office confirmed that the body has not yet been identified.
