Police Investigating Suspicious Death In Burlington

BURLINGTON, MA — Police are investigating a suspicious death, they announced Thursday. In a press release, Burlington Police Chief Michael Kent and Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said that two bodies were found in a McCafferty Way home Wednesday. One of the two deaths, of an 18-year-old woman, is suspicious, they said.

The other dead person was a 20-year-old man, and a preliminary investigation suggested his death was not suspicious, the release said. Both bodies were found in the building's basement.
