Warren police say 71 year old's death is suspicious

WARREN

Police are treating the death of a 71-year-old Atlantic Street Northwest man as “suspicious” pending an autopsy.

Police responded to the 288 Atlantic NW home of Donald Giovannone Thursday morning after a friend reported that he could not contact Giovannone. Police found Giovannone dead, said Lt. Jeff Cole of the Warren Police Department.

Police could not locate the 2002 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck belonging to Giovannone and entered it into a police database as stolen, police said.

The friend who notified police said Giovannone was supposed to go hunting with him.

A police report says Givannone had a “major injury,” but Cole would not comment when asked whether Giovannone’s body had any obvious indications of homicide.
