Police confirm a second body has been pulled from the Delaware River just after crews pulled up the sunken Duck Boat that crashed into a Philadelphia-owned barge Wednesday. The body surfaced as a salvage barge, carrying the wreckage, began to move away from the scene of the accident toward a Coast Guard facility in South Philadelphia. Another body, that of 16-year-old Dora Schwendtner was identified earlier today after a fisherman spotted it early this morning in the river. A second victim of the crash, 20 year old Szabolcs Prem, remains missing and is presumed dead. It’s not yet clear whether the recovered body is that of Prem.
