The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission says the bodies of all three missing boaters from a crash on the Monongahela River Sunday night have now been recovered, bringing the death toll to four.  The incident occurred when a boat and a barge collided near Rices Landing in Greene County.  On the night of the crash, two people (a man and a woman) were pulled from the river by barge crew members.  The woman later died at a hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia, while the male remains hospitalized.  He was listed in critical condition earlier this week, but there have been no further updates.  Authorities have not yet released their identities.  The Greene County Coroner though, has released the identities of those who were pulled from the river over the past two days.  They are 57-year-old Brian Selvoski of Bentleyville, 56-year-old Racquelle Rockwell of Scenery Hill and 58-year-old Erick Rockwell, also of Scenery Hill.  On Wednesday morning, the commission said someone called 911 from Rices Landing after seeing something floating in the river. Emergency crews responded, and the third body, a male, was recovered.
