The body of a 27-year old Cambridge man was pulled from the Charles River Saturday, and investigators do not consider his death suspicious, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.

“Based on witness statements, video footage from nearby cameras, and additional evidence obtained by State Police detectives since Saturday morning, his death does not appear to be the result of foul play,” a spokesperson for District Attorney Daniel F. Conley wrote in an emailed statement.

The Massachusetts State Police were not immediately available for comment.

The man was pulled from the water near the Harvard Bridge, which crosses the Charles near MIT, according to the Boston Globe.

Officials are withholding the man’s name because they do not suspect foul play.

In past years, authorities have pulled bodies from the Charles River several times a year. Massachusetts State Police pulled adult males from the Charles River in both February and May 2016.
