ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Authorities are investigating after a body was recovered Tuesday morning near the Hamilton Street Bridge in Allentown.
City police, paramedics and firefighters were stationed at the southeastern corner of Fourth and Hamilton streets for more than an hour as they worked to pull a body from an area along the Jordan Creek, just south of the bridge.
The death “does not appear to be suspicious,” according to Assistant Chief Deputy Lehigh County Coroner Cassandra Schiffner.
Allentown EMS Chief Mehmet Barzev told LehighValleyNews.com the body was found on land and not in the creek.
