MILLVALE — Homicide detectives are investigating a man's body found in a creek in this small borough in Allegheny County.

Allegheny County police aren't releasing information on the body found in Girty's Run about 9 a.m. today.

It was not immediately clear how the man was found, or how he may have died.

The creek flows through several of Pittsburgh's north and east suburbs and frequently overflows during heavy rains. The area is under a flood watch but officials haven't said if the creek is swollen by recent rains and melting snow, or whether the condition of the creek may be a factor in the man's death.
