A jogger passing by the area saw Pool's body floating in the water about Saturday and notified authorities, Wright said. Pool had been missing since April 17. Authorities believe he drowned after his wheelchair rolled into the river from the wharf below Fort Duquesne Boulevard about 5:30 p.m. that day.

Frank Lucchino breaks record for funds PITTSBURGH (AP) Mayoral hopeful Frank Lucchino, whose $1.1 million in campaign contributions has broken a 20-year record, says he'll return $51,000 in donations given by Pittsburgh Penguins owner Edward DeBartolo. Lucchino said DeBartolo told him he instead would donate $20,000 to an unspecified Pittsburgh charity. The contributions became a campaign issue because of DeBartolo's request for $5.5 million in publicly funded improvements to the Civic Arena, home to the Penguins hockey team. DeBartolo made the request to the Public Auditorium Authority, a city-county agency, less than a week after his campaign contribution to Lucchino was made public.

DeBartolo later withdrew the request for arena funding, saying he didn't want the issue marred by politics. Lucchino's other campaign contributions are double that raised by incumbent Sophie Masloff, according to reports filed with the Allegheny County elections department. Masloff has raised $513,790. The previous contribution record for a Pittsburgh mayoral campaign was held by Republican John Tabor, who raised an estimated $1 million in an unsuccesful bid against Democrat Pete Flaherty in 1969. That was before state law required detailed spending reports.
