Boston Police Probe Death at 25 Malta St. Home Owned by Pressley Husband

Q: A body was found at a property owned by a congresswoman's husband. What was the victim's identity and connection?

The victim’s identity has not been publicly released, and authorities have not confirmed the person’s connection to the property. What is known is that the body was found at 25 Malta Street in Mattapan, a multi-family rental property owned by Conan Harris, the husband of Rep. Ayanna Pressley. Police have said the address is not the couple’s personal residence, and reporting indicates the home had tenants and was listed for sale. Because the investigation is ongoing, Boston police have not disclosed whether the deceased was a tenant, guest, or someone else connected to the property. At this stage, any more specific identification or relationship would be unconfirmed.
