Authorities confirmed Tuesday that the body of 31-year-old Cory Dominic Cook has been recovered, ending a multiday search along the Allegheny River near Manor in Armstrong County.
Darrick Gerano, executive director of Murrysville Medic One, confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the search had ended. No further details were released.
The recovery followed an extensive effort that began Saturday after Cook’s rental car was found abandoned near the Judge J. Frank Graff Bridge.
Cook, of Avonmore, was last seen Thursday. Family members reported he had been suffering from a mental health crisis at the time of his disappearance.
The search involved multiple emergency agencies, utilizing scent dogs, side-scan sonar and rescue divers. Crews focused their efforts on the river between Water Street and the Kittanning sewage treatment plant.
A specialized recovery team took over the scene Monday evening, which prompted the temporary closure of the nearby Armstrong Trail.
The multiday search for Cook involves scent dogs, search teams, side-scan sonar and rescue divers.
