Three people drown within eight days in Upper Delaware | Delaware News

Witnesses say that around 6:30 p.m. that day Mr. Powell and ten others were attempting to swim across the Delaware River below the rocks at Skinners Falls.  Mr. Powell was the last to enter the water after the others had crossed the river.  One witness commented that “what killed Najee was peer pressure.”  Two friends attempted to help him safely to shore but were forced to let go before they were also pulled under.  Mr. Powell and his group were not wearing life jackets.    “In the past eight days three young men have died while attempting to swim across the Upper Delaware River,” commented Superintendent McGuinness.  “Each week we speak to thousands of boaters and swimmers about river safety but we need everyone to help us stop these tragedies.  Tell your family and friends to wear a life jacket and not to swim across the river.
