Skeletal remains identified as man missing since 2012

Authorities in western Pennsylvania say skeletal remains found on a hillside in a Pittsburgh suburb have been identified as those of a man missing for almost five years.

The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office said the remains reported Thursday night in a wooded area of McKeesport are those of 26-year-old Dominick Brown Hill. Officials said Hill had been listed as a missing person since March 2012. The county police homicide unit is investigating. The medical examiner’s office said a ruling on the cause and manner of death is pending further investigation.
