Man Charged with Murder After Body Was Found in Car at Hospital Last Week

Christopher Caron surrendered and was charged with murder following the discovery of Declan Perry's body, found bound and wrapped in a car outside South Shore Hospital, investigators said.

  • Christopher Caron surrendered Saturday afternoon, authorities said, and Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz and Scituate Police Chief Mark Thompson charged the 42-year-old suspect with murder.
  • On Saturday, police were contacted around 2 p.m. about a possible body in the back seat of a black 2019 Honda Civic with Maine plates parked outside South Shore Hospital, and Declan Perry, 27, was pronounced dead at approximately 2:15 p.m.
  • Autopsy documents show Declan Perry's body was wrapped in blankets secured with duct tape, with blunt-force injuries, possible strangulation, and a toxicology screen showing cocaine and fentanyl.
  • Caron was booked and taken to the Plymouth House of Correction, authorities said he will be held until his arraignment Tuesday at Hingham District Court.
  • Investigators traced the case to 40 Driftway, Unit 13, securing a search warrant and seizing evidence after neighbors at the Driftway condo complex reported loading a heavy blanket into a black Honda Civic.
