A Penn Hills woman who had been reported missing Friday was found dead in Wilkinsburg, according to police and the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Maxine Gillis, 79, who suffered from a medical condition, was found in the 2200 block of William Penn Highway, the medical examiner said Saturday. The medical examiner said Gillis died around 12:24 p.m. Friday.

No cause of death was listed and the Allegheny County police are investigating the incident.

Police said a taxi took Gillis from the Veterans Administration Hospital and dropped her off at a family member’s home at about 1 a.m. The family said she did not show up in the 2100 block of Park Hill Drive as planned.
