A 39-year-old man was discovered dead near Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School in Taunton, prompting an investigation by several police agencies. While foul play is suspected, authorities assured the public that there was no ongoing threat to anyone, including the school's students and staff. The high school's entrance was briefly closed due to police activity but reopened shortly after. In a related note, another body was found in Taunton last week under circumstances described as not suspicious, though the investigation is ongoing.
At no time was there a threat to the safety of our students or staff... the educational day continued without disruption.
Foul play is suspected, but there is no ongoing threat to the community or any known connection to the high school.
An autopsy by the state Medical Examiner's Office is pending.
Samuel Stovall, 51, was found in the Mill River... his death is not deemed suspicious but remains open pending further investigation.
