METHUEN — Police have identified the body found Friday afternoon on the city's east side as that of a 28-year-old Tewksbury woman who they believe may have lived in Methuen.
The death appears to be a suicide, investigators said.
"No foul play is suspected," said Steve O'Connell, spokesman for the Essex district attorney's office.
The body was discovered by a hitchhiker near the Independence Drive area, who called police to the scene, investigators said.
The Eagle-Tribune does not identify victims of suicide.
