Witnesses on shore saw the 24-year-old Jackson Township man, Jeysson Ariel Osorio-Reyes, swimming mid-channel in the river, about 75 yards from the PA shoreline, before he disappeared under the water surface.

National Park Service rangers and dive team members from Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and Upper Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River and volunteers from the Milford Fire Department, Milford Ambulance, Port Jervis and Bushkill Dive Teams, and Dingman Township, Sparrowbush, and Huguenot Dive Rescue Teams were engaged in a search for the missing man who was last seen swimming in the Delaware River at Milford Beach around 3:15 pm.

At around 7 pm, NPS and volunteer search crews recovered the body of the missing man from the waters of the Delaware River near Milford Beach within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
