| Gurnet Head is in the background of this picture, and that stuff in the foreground isn't a body... |
A body was discovered on a remote Plymouth Beach yesterday, and it has been identified as a Malden teenager who had gone missing from Quincy in October.
A man loading his truck with rocks discovered the body, which was in a deep state of decay. The man initially thought he had found a mannequin, but that did not prove to be the case.
Josue D. Quispe-Almendro was last seen by his brother in October. A Nissan Pathfinder linked to him was found on Moon Island Road, in the Squantum section of Quincy. A somewhat cryptic Facebook post and a bit of the new friends/coming home late routine added intrigue to the mystery.
A massive land/sea/air search failed to locate the child, who was reported missing on October 18th.
Authorities are mum as to how and in what condition Josue entered the water. They can not yet determine if foul play was involved.
Saquish Head and Gurnet Point are remote headlands at the end of the Duxbury Beach peninsula. They jut out into Cape Cod Bay quite some distance, and this isn't the first time that bodies have washed up there.
Two men missing/presumed dead in the 1982 World Airways Flight 30 crash at Logan Airport were reportedly hauled up- still belted into their seats- by fisherman off of Saquish a few months after the crash. He lost control of the bodies, and they were never recovered.
Josue's body was taken to the Office Of The Chief Medical Examiner, who will perform an autopsy.
A body floating aound and washing up out there may be proof that the Great White Shark population which Duxbury had in the summer has gone South.
