  • The body that was found in April last year on a river bank has been identified one year after it was initially discovered. 
  • Dean A. Barnes, 37, from Harrisburg, was identified as the body found along the riverbank in April 2022.
  • It was determined that he died on April 9 of that year, according to the Allegheny County Coroner. 

The body that was found in April last year on a river bank has been identified one year after it was initially discovered. 

According to the police blotter, River Rescue, Pittsburgh EMS, and Pittsburgh Police responded to Doerr Street at around 5:30 p.m. for the report of a body found near the river.

A kayaker directed first responders to the exact location on the shore.

Dean A. Barnes, 37, from Harrisburg, was identified as the body found along the riverbank in April 2022. It was determined that he died on April 9 of that year, according to the Allegheny County Coroner. 

Barnes’s body was located close to the Ohio River along Doerr Street at New Beaver Avenue in Pittsburgh. 

At this point, the exact cause of his death is unknown, and the authorities have yet to discover if Barnes committed suicide or was murdered. 

The number of missing person cases has been drastically increasing all across the United States of America. 

Such cases raise questions about the crime rate as well as the mental health of the country’s youth. 

Almost half of the time, the person that goes missing is later identified as having mental health issues. 

In the other half of instances, enmity and rivalry are the main reasons behind a person’s disappearance and subsequent death.
