    Body of NT Man Is Recovered From River at Niagara Falls

    The body of a man identified as Stephen J. Soos, 58, of 46 Sweeney St., North Tonawanda, was recovered yesterday afternoon from the Niagara River at the foot of 13th St., Niagara Falls.

    Mr. Soos’ body was first sighted by an unidentified fisherman who notified Cpl. Dominic Conti of the Niagara Frontier State Park Police at 3:05 p.m.

    It was recovered by Cpl. Conti and Niagara Falls firemen in a Civil Defense fire rescue boat. Officials estimated that the body had been in the water for about a week.

    Lt. Joseph Musgrave of Tonawanda, head of the State Park Police, said identification was initially made from scars, dental work, clothing and papers found on the body.

    Police Chief Grimaldi of North Tonawanda today assigned Patrolmen Edward Belbas and William DeMonte to assist Lt. Musgrave in inspecting medical and dental records available locally on Mr. Soos. The trio also planned to attempt to trace the last known movements of the man.

    Lt. Musgrave said a relative of Mr. Soos said she believed she has seen the man last about a week ago.

    Niagara County Coroner F. Eugene Ingram, who also is taking part in the investigation, said a post mortem examination would be made this afternoon to determine the exact cause of death.

    Lt. Musgrave said the body was clothed in dungarees, a bowling shirt lettered with “John’s Grill” and the name “Stephen Sods” (apparently a misspelling of Soos) and brown shoes. A wallet in the clothing contained papers with the name Stephen Soos and his former address, 184 Schenck St., but no money.

    Authorities said their investigation showed Mr. Soos had been separated from his wife, Mrs. Mildred Soos, for about a year. Mrs. Soos is employed by the Niagara County Welfare Department in its NT office.
