His body turned up in the Charles River on the morning of April 16
Cause of death is under investigation and his body showed no signs of trauma
A Massachusetts man who went missing after attending a Boston Celtics game late last month has been found dead in the Charles River.
State police say they pulled the body of an adult male from the river just after 9am Sunday, after a passer-by spotted it.
Police did not immediately confirm the body’s identity, but the parents of 23-year-old Michael Kelleher said in a statement it was their son.
The Southborough man’s father, Mike Kelleher Sr, said: ‘Michael was claimed by the Charles River the night of his disappearance.
They added: ‘This morning, the river gave him back to us.’
His parents also thanked everyone who helped in the search.
Kelleher, a waiter, was last seen March 29 after attending a Celtics game with a co-worker, the Boston Globe reported.
His mother, Lori Tavella Kelleher, said he was drunk when he left and that his plans for getting home after the game were unclear.
