Man whose body was found in Mass. river remembered for his ‘remarkable resilience’

A Massachusetts man whose decomposing body was pulled from a river in Taunton late last month is being remembered for his “remarkable resilience in overcoming adversity.”Samuel Stovall, 51, who Taunton police knew to be homeless, was pulled from the Mill River on April 25, the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office said previously. People walking by the water behind 43 Chandler Ave. noticed his body around 3:40 p.m. and contacted authorities.
