Partial human remains were found within a Mercer County reservoir Tuesday.

The Mercer County Coroner’s Office said remains were found within the Shenango River Reservoir near the Golden Run Wildlife area at around 10 p.m.

It is unknown at this time how long the remains were in the water. The cause and manner of death, as well as the person’s identity, have not be determined.

The coroner’s office said Thursday that the remains have been determined to belong to a white male. His age is still unknown.

Search, Rescue, and Recovery resources have been requested to perform a coordinated search of the area in an effort to find additional human remains and evidence.

Pennsylvania State Police in Mercer County said the criminal investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 724-662-6162.
