Man Presumed Drowned During Susquehanna River Rescue Nearly Deadly Dam: Authorities (Update)

ORIGINAL:

Two men were in a boat that capsized around 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 13, 2023, authorities told Daily Voice. 

The boat went under the water near the Dock Street Dam, Harrisburg Director of Communications Matt Maisel told Daily Voice.

The Dam has been a deadly spot in the river that Daily Voice has previously reported on. 

One man was rescued, "he is alive," Maisel said, but his condition is  "currently unknown."

"Harrisburg City Police, Fire, and PSP are helping to locate the second person," Maisel told us around 10 a.m.

Around 11 a.m. this shifted from a rescue mission to a recovery mission, Maisel explained. 

Around 12:30 p.m. Daily Voice heard a first responder radio broadcast of a body found near the river, but Maisel initially told us he could confirm if it is of the man they were searching for. 

Around 3 p.m. he informed us, "the body found near HIA this afternoon is confirmed to be the second adult from this morning’s boating incident at the Dock Street Dam."

The man's identity has not been released.
