Body pulled from Savannah River
Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigators have taken the lead in the investigation of the death of a 20-year-old man whose body was recovered from the Savannah River on Wednesday morning.
Savannah-Chatham police initiated the investigation after Brian Charles Parker of Pooler was found floating between a boat and the pier at Crescent Towing on Fig Drive about 9:30 a.m, said Julian Miller, police spokesman. He had been working around a tug boat and dock when he disappeared from view, Miller said.
Members of the police department’s Marine Patrol, Savannah Fire & Emergency Services and Southside Fire/EMS pulled the body from the water.
An autopsy was scheduled to determine the cause of death, Miller said.
