The body found in the Schuylkill River near the Walnut Street bridge on Thursday has been identified. The medical examiner says the victim is local entrepreneur 58-year-old Philip Reitnour. Reitnour and business partner Jason Friedberg appeared on ABC's Shark Tank in 2014. They were seeking funding for their personal safety app "Emergensee." The app allows users to stream live video, audio, and GPS info to Emergensee personnel and personal contacts during an emergency situation for a monthly subscription. They did not get any funding from the sharks, but Reitnor has said the show gave the company valuable exposure. The medical examiner has not ruled on cause or manner of death. Court records show that Reitnor was $3 million in debt and was being sued.
