VIDEO: Police Not Ready to ID Body Found in River

Those waiting for word on the identity of the man whose body was found snagged on debris in the Nashua River April 4 will have to wait a little longer.

Nashua Police Lt. Michael Moushegian said there are still a few more things to double check in order to be certain of the man's identity.

"The medical examiner won't commit to anything as far as cause of death until we identify the victim, and we're working toward confirmation, but it won't happen today," said Moushegian early Friday afternoon.

At about 1:30 p.m. on April 4 a passer by spotted what appeared to be the body of a man in the Nashua River, about 150 yards downstream of the dam that is situated between the Nashua Public Library and Margarita's Restaurant, according to police.

Police confirmed that it was a body and called for the police dive team to recover the man's body.

No other information has been released by police. However, at the scene on Thursday, Moushegian said police had an idea of who the man might be based on some existing missing persons leads. Moushegian said more information would likely come early next week.
