Franklin police said Monday that it has been told by the Norfolk District Attorney that remains found last week are those of 20-year-old Michael Doherty, a college student who was reported missing.
The remains were found Saturday near Interstate 495 during an intensive search effort.
Police said preliminary information from the chief medical examiner indicates there were no signs of trauma or foul. The cause and manner of death remain undetermined pending additional testing.

"Our first thought is with Michael’s family and friends," District Attorney Morrissey said in a news release. "To them we extend our sincere condolences. I would be remiss if I did not thank the Franklin Police, regional and state law enforcement and so many in the community for their days and days of sustained searching in difficult terrain. The result was not what we had hoped.”
Doherty was reported missing by his parents on May 14 when he failed to return home from a party.
Doherty texted family members for a ride, but started walking when he didn't hear back.
He was a junior at Duke University.
