Authorities have confirmed that the body of a 10-year-old boy has been recovered from the Passaic River following a large-scale search Wednesday evening.

Officials say three children entered the water near the park off-ramp around 6:20 p.m. An 11-year-old girl was able to make it safely out of the river and reunite with her family. Tragically, her 10-year-old brother was later found deceased. A second 10-year-old girl, who was with the group, remains missing.

Emergency crews, including dive teams, boats, drones, and numerous first responders, continue searching the river despite difficult weather conditions and strong currents. Officials have now transitioned the mission from a search to a recovery operation.

Our thoughts are with the families, friends, first responders, and everyone impacted by this heartbreaking tragedy. 🙏🕊️
