After buying drugs together in Boston, officials say a man drove another man’s car to South Shore Hospital, leaving it outside the emergency room—with the car’s owner deceased in the back seat.
Christopher Caron, 42, of Scituate, earlier pled not guilty to one count of murder in the death of Declan Perry, 27, of Portland, Maine, and was denied bail. On Friday, a Plymouth County Grand Jury indicted Caron on murder charges in connection with Perry’s death.
Caron and Perry texted in August 2025 about meeting in Massachusetts to acquire narcotics, and Perry traveled there on August 22, 2025. According to the district attorney in Plymouth County to Boston and acquired fentanyl and cocaine before returning to Scituate.
At 11:49 p.m., Caron looked for “7-Eleven and Narcan.” A woman repeatedly implored Caron to obtain medical help for Perry, but he refused, according to officials.
The district attorney’s office reported that Caron and the lady gave Perry three doses of Narcan at 3 a.m. The wife fell asleep and awoke at 7 a.m. to see Perry dead.
Caron then wrapped Perry’s body in moving blankets and duct taped it. According to investigators, Caron and the lady removed the body from the Scituate basement, using a wooden door as a stretcher.
They placed the body in Perry’s Honda Civic, where “several neighbors” spotted and assisted Caron as he struggled, according to the district attorney’s office.
On August 23, shortly after 2 p.m., the Honda Civic was left outside the entrance to the emergency department at South Shore Hospital coordinator discovered a motionless guy, later identified as Perry, bundled in many blankets bound with duct tape.
Perry died around 2:15 p.m.
Investigators used surveillance camera footage and interviews to discover that Caron drove Perry’s car to the hospital and informed medical personnel about the body before departing. Investigators also discovered crimson and brown stains in the Scituate residence. A door was also stained red-brown, as were a blouse and sweater.
Caron is scheduled for a hearing in Superior Court at a later date.
