Divers in Port Jervis have recovered the body of a 28-year-old Israeli man who died while kayaking on an upstate New York river.
The search for Sholmi Bagadadi began Wednesday when his rented kayak was found floating on the Delaware River in Orange County.
Thursday afternoon, divers found his body in 15 feet of water in a stretch of the river just north of Port Jervis, where the state lines of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey meet.
Bagadadi and his family were visiting friends and family in New Jersey when the group decided to escape Wednesday's heat and go kayaking.
Authorities said he tipped over while shooting the whitewater near Sparrowbush, about two miles north of Port Jervis.
The upper Delaware River is popular with boaters, canoers, kayakers and swimmers. But it can also be dangerous. Over the past quarter-century, about four dozen people have drowned in that stretch of the river.
