Body discovered in Barrington river

BARRINGTON -- The Warren police announced today that a body has been discovered in the Palmer River near Wallis Avenue in Barrington.

The body fits the description of 53-year-old Steven Tomaselli, a Warren boat mechanic reported missing almost a month ago, according to Warren Police Chief Thomas D. Gordon.

A resident saw the body drifting in the river last night at about 7 p.m., about one mile north of Tomaselli's business, Speed's Diesel Service on Water Street.

Tomaselli's family had been searching for him since his March 27 disappearance.

The medical examiner has yet to determine the cause of death.
