Body found in Maumee River identified

PERRYSBURG — Police have released the identity of the man whose body was found Monday in the Maumee River. He has been identified as Robert Stallter, 88, of Perrysburg.

Stallter’s daughter went to the Maple Street boat docks looking for him after a friend discovered his car in the parking lot but could not locate him. Two City of Perrysburg Street Division workers were in that area at the time and helped her search for him. That’s when they discovered his body in the river and called police, according to a city news release on Tuesday.

The report came in at approximately 2:25 p.m. on Monday afternoon.

Stallter’s body was pulled from the river by Perrysburg fire crews. There were no obvious signs of trauma. Police are waiting on the autopsy report from the Lucas County coroner before determining a cause of death.

The incident remains under investigation.
