A man was found dead inside his truck, which was submerged in a river in Pennsylvania, four days after he disappeared.
Brian Posch, 36, was last seen around 11 a.m. local time on Friday, April 5, and “was last known to be operating a white in color Ford Super Duty,” according to the Brighton Township Police Department.
He was reported missing after he failed to show up to work, per CBS affiliate KDKA-TV.
Divers discovered a large metal mass, which later turned out to be his truck, in the Monongahela River on April 9, according to KDKA-TV and NBC affiliate WPXI.

A cause of death has not yet been determined, but police have said that foul play is not suspected.
“We do not have evidence of foul play at this time, however, with all investigations, things could change at a moment’s notice,” Elizabeth Police Chief Ken Honick told KDKA-TV.
It remains unclear how Posch’s vehicle entered the water.
Wife Alanna told WPXI that the pair exchanged “I love yous” before her husband set off for work Friday morning. She later found out he never made it to the construction site.
Concerned, Alanna called her husband’s cellphone dozens of times and sent several text messages, but they stopped going through around 7 p.m. that evening.
“He’s a wonderful dad and a wonderful husband, and he loves us and his daughter so much,” she said during the interview, which was published before his body was found.
Posch leaves behind both his 1-year-old daughter and wife Alanna, according to a GoFundMe campaign started to support his wife and child following his death.
“As the healing process begins, Alanna and Mila will need us all more than ever,” read a message on the fundraising site. “All funds collected will be given to Alanna to use as she navigates through the days/weeks/years ahead.”
More than $25,000 has been raised through the online fundraiser as of Wednesday afternoon.
