A missing Pennsylvania man has been found dead, according to police.
Brian Posch was last seen on April 5 in Beaver County, according to the Brighton Township Police Department.
His wife told WPXI he was on his way to work at a construction site and the morning started off like any other day.
“Just saying, ‘I love you’ and I had said, ‘I love you’ to him,” Alanna Posch told the news outlet. “We always just say, ‘I love you’ in the morning.”
But, Brian never made it to work.
Police put out a missing person alert and search and rescue teams began to look for him, KDKA reported.
“All kinds of commotion, a lot of police everywhere,” West Elizabeth resident Keved White told the outlet.
On April 9, police reported they found Brian. His body was found inside his work truck in the Monongahela River, the Beaver County Times reported.
“We do not have evidence of foul play at this time, however, with all investigations, things could change at a moment’s notice,” Elizabeth Police Chief Ken Honick told KDKA.
Brian had a 1-year-old daughter, according to a GoFundMe page set up for the family. Alanna described him as a “wonderful dad and a wonderful husband” to WPXI.
“My best friend. Love of my life,” Alanna said in a Facebook post.
McClatchy News reached out to Elizabeth Township police for more information but did not immediately hear back.
Beaver County is about a 35 mile drive northwest from Pittsburgh.
