Boston police say the death of a person whose badly decomposed body was found yesterday in the Fens does not appear to be criminal.

Investigat­ors were not able to immediatel­y determine whether the body was male or female, police said.

The state Medical Examiner’s Office has taken custody of the remains to be autopsied for identifica­tion and cause of death.

The grim find was made yesterday at 12:15 p.m. in a marshy area near the 1200 block of Boylston Street.
