MANCHESTER, NH — A death investigation is underway after rescue crews recovered a man's body from the Piscataquog River in Manchester Thursday morning, state police said.

At 7:58 a.m. Thursday, the State Police Marine Patrol responded to a report of a body floating in the Piscataquog River on Second Street in Manchester, state police said.
