Body that washed ashore in Rhode Island identified as missing Mansfield man

A body that washed ashore in mid-May in Rhode Island has been confirmed to be that of a missing Mansfield man, authorities said. Eric A. Wein, 31, was reported missing to Mansfield Police on April 18. His vehicle was found parked illegally on Ocean Avenue in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, on April 10 and towed away. South Kingstown Police said Friday they have been notified by the Rhode Island Medical Examiners Office that the human remains that washed ashore May 14 in Westerly, Rhode Island have been positively identified as those of Wein. South Kingstown Police Chief Matthew C. Moynihan said his department has concluded its investigation and no foul play is suspected. 'We extend our deepest condolences to Mr. Wein's family and loved ones during this difficult time,' Moynihan said. Police in Rhode Island and Massachusetts actively looked for Wein after he was reported missing. In July 2022, he was arrested on several charges, including assaulting a Seekonk police officer with a large knife. Police had responded to a tow yard in the south end of Seekonk for a reported nighttime break-in in progress. Officers found Wein armed with a large, machete-like knife that was attached to his waistband. After initially obeying police orders, Wein started resisting and fighting with the officers, police said. During the altercation, one of the officers suffered injuries from the suspect's weapon, police said. The officer was taken to a medical facility and later released. Wein was charged with attempted breaking and entering, possession of a burglary instrument, assault and battery on a police officer, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, carrying a dangerous weapon and resisting arrest.
