The body of a key witness in James 'Whitey’ Bulger's racketeering trial was discovered on the side of a road Wednesday by a jogger in Lincoln, Mass., which sits just west of Boston.
The Middlesex County district attorney's office confirmed Rakes' identity in a press release Thursday. There were no obvious signs of trauma, a statement said. The medical examiner is conducting an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.
Police told Rakes' family the cause of death appears to be a suicide, the report said. However, Rakes was reportedly missing his phone and wallet.
You had to figure this would happen to at least one witness.
