GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Authorities aren't saying how two fishermen died after they were pulled from a western Pennsylvania river. The bodies of 62-year-old Steven Sieminski, and his 30-year-old son, Justin, were found in the Allegheny River Monday, about 20 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Lower Burrell police have said the pair went fishing Sunday and didn't return home. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports (http://bit.ly/2bEaTpx ) the Westmoreland County Coroner's Office says there were no obvious signs of trauma on the bodies. The office says the cause and manner of their deaths are being withheld pending further investigation. The Sieminskis' red sport utility vehicle was found parked near some of their fishing equipment along the shoreline. Police have said there were no sign of suspicious activity. The stretch of river is known for swift currents. ___ Information from: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, http://pghtrib.com
