Body found at rental tied to Rep. Pressley’s husband triggers death investigation

A dead body was found Saturday at a two-unit rental property on Malta Street in Boston's Mattapan neighborhood, owned by Conan Harris, husband of Rep. Ayanna Pressley. Police described the scene as a death investigation. Neighbors said the home had been raided by police two months earlier and housed tenants, including teenagers; the property was listed for sale. Pressley’s spokesperson offered condolences, and Harris has a prior 10-year prison sentence for drug trafficking. The report notes Pressley’s role in the progressive “Squad” and her asset disclosures, but centers on the death investigation at the home connected to her husband.
