South Londonderry Township emergency responders were called around 7 a.m. Saturday to the Wastewater Treatment Facility’s west plant in the 700 block of Lingle Road.The person’s death is under investigation. Police are asking that anyone with information on unusual activity near the plant on Friday night or early Saturda\y call investigators at 717-838-1276.
Police did not identify the deceased immediately out of respect for his family. Emergency crews took “considerable precautions” to protect the family’s privacy at the scene. However, police have learned that photos from the scene have circulated on social media, which the department called “insensitive and disrespectful” to the person’s family.
