Overview

• Christopher Caron, 42, pleaded not guilty in Hingham District Court and is being held without bail pending a Sept. 29 hearing.
• Declan Perry, 27, was found Aug. 23 in the back seat of his Honda Civic outside South Shore Hospital, wrapped in blankets secured with duct tape.
• Investigators allege Caron placed Perry’s body in the car, drove it to the hospital, alerted staff that a body was inside, and left before police arrived.
• Residents at 40 Driftway in Scituate reported helping a man load a heavy wrapped object into the same car, leading to a search warrant and the seizure of evidence from the condo.
• Prosecutors detailed plans to obtain fentanyl and cocaine, overnight Narcan searches, and a witness who urged calling 911, while Caron’s attorney argues police rushed to judgment and that no crime occurred.
