PHILADELPHIA – A body was recovered early Friday morning from the Delaware River near where a 250-foot barge collided with a stalled amphibious sightseeing boat, throwing 37 people into the water.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Crystal Kneen said authorities could not make any immediate connection between the recovered body and the collision Wednesday that left two Hungarian tourists, 16-year-old Dora Schwendtner and 20-year-old Szablcs Prem, missing.

The Coast Guard had said Thursday evening they did not believe either of the missing passengers had survived.
