I don't remember this paragraph being on NEIN yesterday along with the picture.
Investigators from the Northeast Intelligence Network traveled to the area where the body of the diver was discovered and the area near the nuclear reactor, located approximately 12 miles to the north. Currents in both areas appear to be the same - 4 mph "tidal currents." The water temperature was warmer near the reactor as a result of the outflow from the facility, while temperatures gradually decreased to approximately 40 degrees F near the Danskammer Power Plant. Ice was prevalent on the east and west shores of the Hudson beginning approximately 1 mile south of the reactor. The diver found in the water was reportedly NOT wearing a "dry suit," which is recommended for water temperatures under 40 degrees F. It is unknown how long the diver had been dead or in the water, however law enforcement officials interviewed suspected that the diver entered the water at some point after dark on Saturday night or early Sunday morning. He was found on Sunday, 22 February 2004. Although a ship from Cyprus was in the area, there is little reason to believe that the diver originated from this vessel.
There is also a better newspaper report on this incident posted on FR here...

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.
