PLUM (KDKA) – A body was pulled from the Allegheny River in Plum on Saturday.
Police say a 51-year-old man and a friend took a boat out on the river from the Springdale Borough Boat Dock around 8 a.m.
The two men later had to make repairs to their fishing tackle, so they decided to cross the Allegheny River to the Plum side near Barking Road so a dog they had with them could swim in the shallow water.
