US EditionMan found dead in car outside South Shore Hospital suffered trauma to head, neck, DA says
Christopher Caron faces murder charges after Declan Perry, a 27-year-old Maine chef, died from blunt force trauma and strangulation following a drug deal, prosecutors said.
- Christopher Caron, 42, was arraigned Tuesday in Hingham District Court on a murder charge linked to the death of 27-year-old Declan Perry found outside South Shore Hospital on August 23.
- The events followed a meeting on August 22 at Caron's Scituate home where the men took cocaine and fentanyl, and investigators say the drug deal escalated to a fatal assault.
- Neighbors helped Caron load Perry's body, wrapped in blankets and duct tape, into a black Honda Civic which Caron drove to the hospital and alerted staff about the body before fleeing.
- Autopsy findings showed that Perry had significant injuries to his head, chest, and neck consistent with trauma and strangulation inflicted before his death, prompting the medical examiner and District Attorney Tim Cruz to officially rule the case a homicide.
- A judge set bail for Caron and arranged for him to appear in court again on September 29, while prosecutors commended the collaborative investigation across county lines that revealed key information about Perry's death.
