The second body was reportedly discovered by a Boston University rowing coach at about 7:25 a.m. and has not yet been identified. Two sources told CBS Boston that there were chains around the ankles attached to a cinder block.

Another body of an older white male was found in the same general area of the river Monday. No foul play is suspected but an autopsy is scheduled to determine a cause of death, according to the Associated Press.

Police said neither of the bodies belonged to Dailey, a 23-year-old Boston Architectural College student who was last seen on Oct. 2 when he left his apartment in Aliston. Detectives went to Dailey's apartment late Tuesday morning to speak with his family and request dental records.

This kid might have seen or heard something or perhaps owed money to someone, but if both men were found the same way, within the same time frame,then maybe they both owed money. No foul play?? Who the heck takes the time to use chains and cinder blocks without worry of being seen or caught? Something is not right with this case.; Reply to this comment
