Diver Found Deceased After Fatal Diving Accident Off Dennis | August 12, 2026

Dennis, MA - A 72-year-old male diver was found deceased Wednesday evening after a large search was launched off the coast of Dennis when the diver failed to resurface at a designated time.

The Dennis Fire Department and Barnstable County Dive Team were called to Sesuit Harbor around 5:00 p.m. Dive team members assembled in the harbor parking lot and established a command post while fire department and harbormaster boats from surrounding communities responded to the diver’s last known position. The U.S. Coast Guard also provided overhead support during the search operation.

A short time later, a nearby vessel was heard contacting the U.S. Coast Guard on emergency Channel 16, reporting that they had located the diver face down in the water approximately two nautical miles north-northwest of the entrance to Sesuit Harbor. The diver’s body was recovered around 5:30 p.m.

The diver was brought back to the dock aboard a rescue boat at approximately 5:45 p.m., where Massachusetts State Police and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner took control of the scene. Upon arrival at the dock, the diver was pronounced deceased.

The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation. No additional information has been released, and the identity of the deceased is being withheld at this time.

Acton, MA – A 17-year-old Acton teenager is facing two counts of murder after his mother and 14-year-old brother were found dead inside their Martha Lane home Tuesday evening.

The victims were identified as 45-year-old Sudha Venkatesan and 14-year-old Siddharth Aravind. Police responded to the home for a well-being check and found both victims deceased with what Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan described as “obvious trauma.”

“This is an unspeakable tragedy. It is an incredibly dark day.”

Two Belmont Teens Arrested After High-Speed Pursuit on I-95 | August 09, 2026

Greenland, NH - Two 18-year-olds from Belmont, Massachusetts were arrested Friday night following a high-speed pursuit on Interstate 95 in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire State Police said a trooper attempted to stop a gray 2021 Hyundai Elantra around 9:38 p.m. on August 7 after the vehicle was observed traveling over 100 mph on I-95 northbound in Greenland. The driver, identified as Justin Jedrey, 18, of Belmont, allegedly refused to stop, prompting a pursuit. His passenger was identified as Nikol Muka, 18, also of Belmont.

Police said the pursuit was initially terminated after Jedrey exited the highway into Portsmouth due to public safety concerns. Troopers later located the Hyundai again, and police say Jedrey once more refused to stop. Officers eventually blocked the vehicle with cruisers and deployed tire-deflation devices, bringing the pursuit to an end. Portsmouth Police assisted during the incident, and no injuries were reported.

Jedrey was charged with multiple offenses, including allegations related to reckless conduct, disobeying a police officer and underage alcohol violations. He was held in preventive detention pending an August 10 arraignment in Portsmouth District Court. Muka was arrested on an alleged unlawful possession and intoxication violation, released on bail, and is scheduled to appear in court on September 28.

The case remains pending in New Hampshire courts.

Six Alarm Fire Tears Through Vacant Commercial Building in Wakefield | August 07, 2026

Wakefield, MA — A massive six alarm fire tore through a vacant commercial building at 102 Foundry Street Friday afternoon, drawing a large mutual aid response as heavy flames and thick black smoke poured from the structure.

Wakefield firefighters were dispatched at approximately 2:30 p.m. on Friday, August 7, according to Wakefield Fire Chief Thomas Purcell. Arriving companies encountered heavy fire already burning through the commercial building, and the incident quickly escalated as additional departments were called into Wakefield to assist.

Firefighters battled the blaze during hot summer conditions, using multiple hose lines and an aerial master stream to pour water onto the building. Crews worked to keep the flames from spreading to neighboring structures as fire continued to burn throughout portions of the building. A rehabilitation area with water and ice was established for firefighters working in the heat.

The intensity of the fire ultimately caused the roof of the building to collapse. Despite the size of the blaze, officials reported no injuries, although several people were evaluated for heat related issues. By Friday evening, Chief Purcell said the fire had been brought under control, with crews remaining at the property to monitor and extinguish hot spots.

The response significantly disrupted the surrounding area. Foundry Street was closed, along with portions of Broadway and North Avenue, as apparatus, hose lines and emergency personnel filled the neighborhood. The fire also affected the MBTA Haverhill Line, after officials halted rail traffic through the area during firefighting operations.

The fire produced a large column of smoke that could be seen from surrounding communities. Witnesses described the plume as unusually large and persistent as crews continued their attack.

The Massachusetts Department of Fire Services, Massachusetts State Police and Wakefield Fire Department are investigating the fire. A cause had not been announced as of Friday night.
