NEW EAGLE, Pa. — (WPXI) – It is believed that an electric shock caused a man to drown Sunday in Washington County near where boaters were gathered to celebrate the Fourth of July. James DeAngelo, 23, of Venetia, was swimming in the Monongahela River near a boat docked at the Beach Club Marina in New Eagle when he was found unresponsive Sunday evening. He was pulled from the water around 7:30 p.m. and taken to Monongahela Valley Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:18 p.m. Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the drowning, but say that a possible electrical shock could be the culprit. Officials said DeAngelo went under the water and didn’t surface. A friend then put on a life jacket, and jumped in to search for him. That young man, also 23 years old was transported to the hospital where he told officers he felt like he had been horribly shocked. DeAngelo graduated from Peters Township in 2016 and attended Cal U last year, played hockey and, according to his family, was hoping to soon marry his longtime girlfriend.
