A Massachusetts man who went missing after attending a Boston Celtics game late last month has been found dead in the Charles River.
State police say they pulled the body of an adult male from the river just after 9am Sunday, after a passer-by spotted it.
Police did not immediately confirm the body’s identity, but the parents of 23-year-old Michael Kelleher said in a statement it was their son.
The Southborough man’s father, Mike Kelleher Sr, said: ‘Michael was claimed by the Charles River the night of his disappearance.
They added: ‘This morning, the river gave him back to us.’
His parents also thanked everyone who helped in the search.
The suspension takes effect immediately and “a decision about his future with the Celtics beyond this season will be made at a later date,” the team said.
During a Friday news conference, owner Wyc Grousbeck said an outside law firm found multiple violations of team policies during its months-long investigation into Udoka.
“We go to great lengths … to run the organization with the central core value of respect and freedom in the workplace from harassment or any unwelcome attention,” Grousbeck said. “This feels very much, to me, like one of a kind. That’s my personal belief. But I’ll have to verify that.”
Neither Grousbeck nor president of basketball operations Brad Stevens would elaborate on the specifics of the violations or the private report that was delivered to the team two days ago. But a person with knowledge of the matter, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the details were not made public, told The Associated Press that it involved an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the organization.
On Wednesday, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Udoka had “an improper intimate and consensual relationship with a female member of the team staff.”
