“We got out here with our fire department, the Moraine Fire Department, and did find a male that was obviously deceased in the river,” Moraine Sgt. Andrew Parish said.

The male has not been identified at this time and the police department is working with the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office to identify him.

As reported on News Center 7 at 6:00, investigators from Five Rivers MetroPark were also on the scene. Parish noted that they were investigating a missing persons report from earlier this month, but could not confirm if this was the individual from that case.
