Toter Taucher im Hudson River Abgesandt von Armin am 27.02.2004 - 11:14:
Newburgh
A man`s body is found floating in the Hudson River. He`s wearing a diving mask and scuba gear.
But it`s February, a time of year in the Northeast when only members of the Polar Bear Club or actual polar bears are likely to venture into the water.
That`s the mystery that federal and local investigators were still trying to solve yesterday afternoon. The man`s body was first spotted Sunday morning by the crew of a Cyprus-based ship that had just delivered a load of coal to Dynegy`s Danskammer power plant.
Town of Newburgh police were focusing on identifying the body, but so far have not even determined whether the victim was a local resident or someone from a ship.
Detective Sgt. Margaret O`Neill said investigators were comparing the victim to recent missing persons reports, but wouldn`t disclose details about the case.
"Until we identify him, we`re not releasing anything," O`Neill said. The Coast Guard, which often investigates such incidents in the river, referred questions to another federal agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which, like the Coast Guard, falls under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security.
ICE agents reportedly were interviewing crew members yesterday. But two spokesmen for the agency yesterday refused to say why ICE was involved, and said they could not shed any light on the case. "We have a lot of the same questions you do," ICE spokesman Marc Raimondi said.
The New York Daily News reported the ship, called the Brussel, underwent a random, routine inspection by the Coast Guard in New York Harbor last week before it was allowed to continue up the river.
