Three bodies were discovered outside a parking garage in Mt. Lebanon on Tuesday, prompting a large multi-agency response near the municipal building. Police have not released the identities of those found or said how they died, but they have said one thing clearly: there is no danger to the public.
Police confirmed they were at a scene where the three bodies were found outside the parking garage in Allegheny County, according to WTAE. The station reported that multiple police departments, along with fire crews and emergency medical services, responded to the 700 block of Washington County Road in Mount Lebanon. WPXI, citing its own sources, reported that the police situation was centered in the 700 block of Washington Road — a discrepancy in the exact street name that has not been resolved between the two outlets' reporting.
Officials Confirm Three Dead, Few Other Details
Authorities told WTAE there were three bodies at the location but said they could not provide any further information beyond that. The Mt. Lebanon Police Department responded to the situation near the municipal building, and the station's report adds that the Allegheny County Police Department was called in to assist at the scene.
Per WPXI, Allegheny County dispatchers reported that the initial call came in at 4:22 p.m. Tuesday, with firefighters and medics also present at the scene alongside police. The station had said it planned to provide the latest details on the developing story during its 6 p.m. newscast Tuesday.
No Active Threat, Officials Say
Despite the grim discovery, officials moved quickly to reassure nearby residents. WTAE reported that officials said there was no danger to the public, while WPXI reported separately that Mt. Lebanon police said there was no active threat to the public. Neither outlet has said whether investigators believe the three deaths are connected to one another, and no further details on the circumstances surrounding the discovery have been made public.
