Body found in Palmer River identified

WARREN -- The police have identified a body pulled from the Palmer River Monday night.

Warren police today said the man is Steven Tomaselli, 53, of Warwick, a Warren boat mechanic who disappeared a month ago when screams were heard near his waterfront shop, Speed's Diesel.

The Warren Police chief plans to release preliminary autopsy results tomorrow afternoon.

Tomaselli's funeral is planned for 11 a.m. tomorrow at St. Peter’s Church on Fair Street, Warwick.

Monday night, a Barrington resident saw Tomaselli's body floating in the river near Wallis Avenue in Barrington.
