Both the district attorney and coroner confirmed to KDKA-TV that the death is being considered suspicious.<\/p>\n<p>Neighbors who spoke with KDKA say the body&#8217;s discovery will change their daily habits.<\/p>\n<p>State police say the man has only been identified as a 71-year-old. His name has not yet been released.<\/p>\n<p>If it weren&#8217;t for the many calls he received, resident Ronald Bryant Jr. would have had no idea that a body was found near the railroad tracks just down the street from his Kerr Street home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For something like that to happen, that is the biggest surprise,&#8221; Bryant Jr. said.<\/p>\n<p>Other neighbors said they saw a large police scene form around 11 a.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be surprised there&#8217;s not somebody that didn&#8217;t notice or suspect something,&#8221; Bryant Jr. said. &#8220;The neighborhood is safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryant Jr. said the incident worries him, considering how close it happened to his home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am concerned because I walk this way to go to work, and I walk downtown. I do know I&#8217;m more suspicious that there&#8217;s somebody who could be lurking or watching something or someone, or our houses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said that moving forward, he plans to be more aware of his surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>State police say the investigation remains active, and if you have information, contact them.<\/p>\n<p>\n          More from CBS News\n        <\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pennsylvania State Police are investigating the discovery of a man&#8217;s body just outside the Uniontown city limits in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":158329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1188,2298,73,75,74,6267],"class_list":{"0":"post-158328","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh","8":"tag-body-found","9":"tag-fayette-county","10":"tag-pittsburgh","11":"tag-pittsburgh-headlines","12":"tag-pittsburgh-news","13":"tag-uniontown"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/158329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=158328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=158328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
