The discovery of the first body led divers to another body, as Daily Voice previously reported.
Bilsón Araél Ramirez, 22 recently of Pittsburgh, but originally of Guatemala, was found "floating in the Montour Run Creek near the Montour Run Trail" around 4:05 p.m. in Moon Township on June 28, according to the police release and identified by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office on July 9.
After first responders spotted the dead man "floating in approximately 6 feet of water," divers were called to "retrieve the body," as stated in the original release. Then it things got weird because as the "divers were in the water they discovered a second adult male in approximately 10 feet of water," police said.
The second man has since been identified as Ramirez's friend, 34-year-old Alexi Heber Verdugo Lopez of Mexico, according to the Medical Examiner and the GoFundMe.
The medical examiner's office has not released a cause and manner of death for either man.
The HU's initial investigation "shows no signs of foul play," but these deaths are being investigated as homicides according to the release's headline.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Allegheny County Police Tip Line 1-833-ALL-TIPS.
Bilsón is survived by his family including his sister Anibal Ramírez; who launched a GoFundMe to help transport his body back to Guatemala and to help support his wife and children, ages 5, 3, and 1, as detailed on the campaign page.
Alexi is survived by his 3-year-old daughter and his wife, according to the campaign. The funds will also help send his body to his family in Mexico.
