The 23-year-old who fell from a boat dock into the Ohio River Saturday evening while fishing with friends on Neville Island has been identified.
Ohio Township police Chief Joseph Hanny said the search for Kenneth Robinson resumed Monday morning.
Robinson, of Pittsburgh’s Hazelwood neighborhood, was a graduate of Allderdice High School in Squirrel Hill and graduated from Mercyhurst University in Erie this year, where he played baseball, according to the Mercyhurst website.

Former Allderdice basketball coach Buddy Valinsky tweeted his condolences.
“It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the loss of a family member last night,” Valinsky wrote Sunday. “Kenny Robinson was a part of Twinsanity and was truly one of my favorite players on the BB team.”
In 2014, the Allderdice hoops team attracted national attention because it boasted three sets of identical twins, including Robinson.
Robinson was a pleasure to coach, Valinsky wrote.
“His infectious smile will always be embedded in my mind,” the coach wrote of Robinson.
