Fatal Incidents on Mass Pike Ramps Prompt Investigation

A 50-year-old man died after suffering life-threatening injuries on a Massachusetts Pike exit, initially thought to be a hit-and-run but later revealed to be from an elevated fall. The man was found near a concrete ledge where items suggested he had been living, and the trauma surgeon indicated the injuries were consistent with a fall. The official cause of death is under investigation, and the ramps that were closed have since reopened.
