Body Found Amid Search For Missing Swimmer In Delaware

WILMINGTON, Del. (CBS)—Police in Delaware have pulled a man's body from the water amid a search for a missing swimmer on Wednesday.

The body was found floating in the water in the area of the Delaware Northern Greenway Trail near N. Park Drive.

The body was turned over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Sciences where an autopsy will be performed to determine the identity of the male subject as well as the cause and manner of death.

This comes as police continue searching for Miguel Angel Del Valle, who went missing around 6:30 p.m. Monday near the Alapocas Run state Park. He was last seen going over the dam.

Authorities say three other people who were with him at the time, but did not call 911 until after they had all returned home almost 2 hours later.

If anyone has any information in reference to this incident they are asked to call at 302-365-8567.
