Bodies Found In Search For Drowned Teenagers

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A small group of family and friends held each other for comfort as police pulled a body out of the Delaware River.

They had been there all day, waiting for news from the search for William Wilkinson, 17, who drowned Wednesday evening. Police say Wilkinson drowned when he jumped into the water, trying to save a friend who fell in. But he never resurfaced.

Police boats and rescue teams circled the waters, trying to find any sign of the teenager. In the end, it was a single police boat that found a body thirty feet off the pier at 4:30 in the afternoon. Police say the physical description and clothing description match Wilkinson’s.
