The Fayette County Coroner’s Office has identified the man found dead in the Youghiogheny River last week as forty-two-year-old William Guidi of Somerset. He was identified using rapid DNA testing and advanced fingerprint analysis. His family has been notified. Two fishermen found Guidi’s body along the river. He reportedly had no ID, wallet, phone or fishing or hiking equipment on him. The coroner says preliminary autopsy findings suggest he died from accidental drowning, but final toxicology reports are still needed.
