HUDSON — The official cause of death is pending, but police said they don’t have any reason to believe the death of the man whose body was found in Hudson Tuesday is suspicious.

A person walking along the power lines off of Kienia Road around 4 p.m. discovered the body of Terrance “Terry” Adams, 53, and contacted authorities, according to Hudson police Capt. Tad Dionne.

Adams, a retired Boston firefighter, went missing sometime between Dec. 7-16, according to social media posts at the time. He was reportedly last ween at a Windham estabslishment called Friendly Red’s Tavern.

Hudson police Capt. David Cayot said in a statement issued Wednesday that while the investigation is ongoing, Adams’s death “does not appear to be suspicious, and there is no threat to the public” and no concern for public safety.

Cayot said an autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause and manner of Adams’s death.

Hudson police, firefighters and ambulance personnel were dispatched shortly before 4:30 p.m. to an area off Kienia Road and Lenny Lane for a report of a 20-year-old man with lacerations to his legs.

It’s believed that the wide discrepancy in age was due to conditions in the area, as well as the condition of the body, police said.

Social media users who networked around the time of Adams’s disappearance in hopes of getting information that might lead to his whereabouts began posting condolences, tributes and memories Wednesday, as word spread of his body being found.

Adams was a retired Boston firefighter, but apparently he was a member at one time of the Hull, Massachusetts department, according to one of the social media posts.

It stated that Boston and Hull firefighters “will together honor our brother Terrance Adams with his last alarm.” It also noted that Hudson firefighters were planning to honor Adams Wednesday evening.

It asks that people “please think of Terry, raise a glass, recall a funny story, or say a prayer.

“We lost a good man.”
