Authorities in New Hampshire are investigating an unattended death in the coastal town of Rye.

David Paul Stover Shader, 35, of Boston, was identified on Saturday as the deceased man.

New Hampshire State Police Marine Patrol responded to reports of a human body seen floating in the ocean near the Isle of Shoals on July 13.

When patrol officers arrived, they found and recovered the remains of an unidentified individual believed to be a male.

Authorities identified the man through the combined efforts of the New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit and the New Hampshire Medical Examiner’s Office.

“The investigation has yet to fully determine the details of Shader’s entry into the water,” a New Hampshire State Police statement reads.

“Shader was last seen in the Boston area, and his death is not believed to be suspicious,” authorities said. “There is no known cause for concern for public safety related to this matter.”

All aspects of the case remain under investigation. Anyone with information regarding this case or who may have knowledge that could assist investigators is asked to contact Sergeant Stephen O’Connor at 603-556-3183 or [email protected].
