(Allegheny County, PA) An investigation is underway after a body was found in the Monongahela River on Sunday afternoon. The body was discovered behind a tug boat close to the baseball field in West Elizabeth. John’s Towing Service in Beaver County owns the boat, which is called the “Kimberly Johnson.” Allegheny County police, who were called in to assist Elizabeth Township police, believe that the man was working on a boat in the area. The victim was later identified as 56-year-old Donald Wilson, according to a release from the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office. KDKA-TV reached out to the company that owns the boat. A representative said they didn’t know how Wilson fell into the river, but believed that this was a tragic accident. Elizabeth Borough’s fire chief told KDKA-TV that the borough’s Swift Water Rescue Team recovered Wilson’s body around 3:30 on Sunday afternoon. Allegheny County police state that a full investigation is pending the results of the medical examiner’s report.
