New details have emerged after police say the body of a man in his 40s was found in the Delaware River Thursday.
At around 3:30 p.m., Philadelphia police responded to reports of a body in the river at Linden and Delaware Avenues. Upon arrival, the Philadelphia Police Marine Unit recovered the body of a Black man in his 40s. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police sources tell FOX 29’s Steve Keeley the man found in the Delaware River had cords tied around both wrists, prompting homicide detectives to take over the case.
Police told Darnell's mother, Juanita Johnson, that a jet skier had reported seeing a body in the Delaware River. She then learned it was her son."That's my baby boy. Nothing is gonna fix this, nothing. Not time, none of that. Knowing that my son died doing something that he loved to do and somebody did something to him it's hard, just it's hard," said Johnson.
