A Massachusetts swimmer was found deceased Saturday, according to authorities.
According to Dave Procopio of Massachusetts State Police, Massachusetts State Police patrols, specialized units, and detectives along with local public safety partners and Massachusetts Environmental Police, responded to Shannon Beach in Winchester in the Upper Mystic Lakes for a missing male swimmer, approximately age 17, earlier this evening.
