ac.commutative algebra - Torsion submodule

$A$ a commutative Noetherian domain, $M$ a finitely generated $A$-module. How can I show that the kernel of the natural map $Mrightarrow M^{**}$, where $ M^{ * *}$ is the double dual (with respect to $A$), is the torsion submodule of $M$?



I do know that in this situation torsionlessness coincides with torsion-freeness. According to Auslander this result is ``well-know'' but I can't seem to prove it or find any reference on this.
