Suspected drowning near Muncy under investigation

MUNCY – The county’s chief deputy coroner, Jerold Ross, confirmed Saturday night he was en route to a suspected drowning scene along River Road, just south of Muncy.

Volunteer firefighters were called about 8:20 p.m to the 1500 block of River Road in Muncy Creek Township for a water rescue.

At least one victim was reportedly pulled from the Susquehanna River unresponsive. No information on the victim’s identity was available.

Using at least four boats, volunteer firefighters from here and Clinton Township were searching the Susquehanna River for possibly a second drowning victim.

State police were on the scene and leading the investigation along with the Lycoming County Coroner’s Office.
