Overview

• Christopher Caron, 42, was arraigned in Hingham District Court on a murder charge and ordered held without bail, with a Sept. 29 hearing scheduled.
• Investigators allege he wrapped 27-year-old Declan Perry’s body in blankets with duct tape, placed it in Perry’s Honda Civic, drove to South Shore Hospital, alerted staff, and left before police arrived.
• Prosecutors say texts arranged a meeting to obtain fentanyl and cocaine, that Caron searched for Narcan overnight, and that a friend says he refused repeated pleas to call an ambulance.
• Prosecutors told the court an autopsy noted blunt-force injuries consistent with strangulation, but the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has not released a final cause or manner of death.
• Tips from neighbors led police to 40 Driftway in Scituate, where a warrant search seized evidence; Caron surrendered Saturday and his attorney disputes the allegations.
