Drowning In Delaware River

On the afternoon of August 19th, park dispatch received a report that a man appeared to be drowning in the Delaware River near the Kittatinny Canoe riverside campground in Minisink, New York. Rangers, state troopers and local rescue personnel all responded. Upon arrival, the rangers found that Brian Lennon, 37, had been snorkeling in the river when he’d called for help, then disappeared underwater. Local divers recovered his body from about ten feet of water in mid-afternoon. He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Rangers and state police are investigating.
