MISSING NEW YORK MAN FOUND DECEASED IN ROCHESTER CITY WATER SUPPLY AFTER MISSING FOR AROUND 30 DAYS. (PHOTOS).


 Missing New York man found deceased in Rochester city water supply after missing for around 30 days.


Abdullahi Muya was found deceased Tuesday in the reservoir that supplies water to Rochester, NewYork.  This prompted the town to be placed on a boil order. However it has since been lifted as the city says diligent and continuous testing identified no immediate concerns. 


The city will be moving its yearly reservoir cleaning from May to March this year. The process usually takes around 8 weeks, officials state.


After finding the body and reviewing security footage they were able to identify Muya entering the gated area around 6:30 pm February 24. He then slid down the side of the reservoir and into the water where unfortunately he drowned. 


Officials say since that time he had remained well below the surface in an area not easily seen.

They have concluded he was alone and there was no foul play involved.
