A man drowned after he tried to swim across the Delaware River Wednesday, according to investigators.
Officials received a 911 call reporting a person jumped in the river near Linden Avenue in Philadelphia around 5:35 p.m. The Philadelphia Fire Department and other units responded to the scene and searched for an hour and a half but didn't find anyone.
The New Jersey State Police later found the unidentified man's body in the river near the Hawk Island Marina in Delanco, New Jersey.
Officials believe the man jumped in the river and tried to swim across to the New Jersey side but ended up drowning. They continue to investigate.
