-- The body of a middle-aged man was found on Broadway in Somerville early this morning, and police are calling the death suspcious. The man was found dead behind a car at about 4:30 a.m., and although there did not seem to be a visible gun-shot wound, a towel that looked an awful lot like blood-stained was seen nearby.
