BALDWIN, Pa. (AP) - An autopsy was set on the body of a 67-year-old Pittsburgh man spotted floating in the Monongahela River.

Baldwin police Chief Michael Scott says several people were running on a trail along the river on Sunday when they spotted the body about 2 p.m.

The Allegheny County medical examiner has identified the body as that of 67-year-old John Flynn.

An autopsy was scheduled for Monday.

County homicide detectives were also investigating.

The body was spotted near the Keystone Iron & Metal Company, though it wasn’t immediately clear how or when it entered the water. Police say it doesn’t appear the body was in the water long before it was found.
