Body Found Hidden Under Worcester Porch Formally Identified

One man has been arrested and a death investigation is underway in Worcester, Massachusetts after the body of a man was found inside a home on Monday night.

Authorities have officially identified a body that a man is accused of hiding under cardboard boxes and paper bags at his Massachusetts home.

MassLive.com reports that officials positively identified the remains Thursday as 27-year-old Justin Ramos.

Ramos was last seen Jan. 7 at the Worcester home of 32-year-old Xavier Broughton. Broughton has pleaded not guilty to charges of disinterment of a human body and misleading a police investigation.

Broughton told investigators Ramos died of a heroin overdose and he tried to revive him.
