The body of a man who jumped into Hull Bay last week after fleeing his home to avoid speaking with police was found over the weekend, according to authorities.
Jeffrey Lilja’s body was discovered around 3 p.m. Sunday, three days after he went missing, the Hull Police Department said in a statement.
The 41-year-old Hull man’s body was recovered by Massachusetts State Police divers after sonar scans by a Massachusetts Environmental Police crew showed an “area of interest” roughly 200 feet off shore in approximately 16 feet of water, according to the statement.
