A Slatington man drowned in the Lehigh River Tuesday evening, according to authorities.The Lehigh County coroner's office identified the victim as Marc Charles Henninger, 31, of 123 Fourth St.Henninger was reported missing in the river at 7:10 p.m. near the boat launch area off Route 873 in Washington Township.His body was recovered about 10:30 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:04 p.m. by deputy coroner Wendy Brantley.An autopsy is scheduled for today to determine the cause and manner of death, the coroner's office said.The investigation into the incident is being handled by the Lehigh Township police.Slatington and Walnutport fire companies, along with other emergency crews, all aided in the search.Jason Nicholas, deputy chief for the Slatington Fire Department, said that at 7:09 p.m. the Slatington Fire Department, along with Northern Valley Ambulance, were dispatched to the area of the Lehigh River Boat Launch in the area of the Route 873 bridge in Washington Township for a man who was reported missing while in the river with numerous other people.Nicholas said when the fire department arrived, eyewitnesses said the missing man was wearing only black shorts.Nicholas said, "According to witness reports, the male was walking across the river when he became distressed and yelled that he needed help because he couldn't breathe, and then disappeared under the water and could not be found."Nicholas said when the man, identified as Henninger, became distressed, he was holding a young child of a family friend who was present at the river with him.The child was rescued by a bystander on a canoe who assisted with bringing her to the shore line.He said the Slatington Fire Department was assisted at the scene by the Diamond Fire Company of Walnutport with their water rescue boat, as well as the Star Hose Company of Emerald.Dive units from Whitehall Township and Lehighton Fire Department were also requested for assistance, Nicholas said, who added that Lehigh University MedEvac Helicopter was also dispatched to assist with an air search of the entire area.The Pennsylvania State Police, as well as Lehigh Township Police, also assisted on scene, Nicholas said."After an hour of searching by air and ground, the determination was that in fact we were faced with a recovery effort versus a rescue effort," Nicholas said.At about 10 p.m., Nicholas said the dive units located the body in the water about 30 feet from where he was last seen in the water before he disappeared under the water.At 10:27 p.m., he said Henninger was removed from the water by the dive units.Nicholas said the Slatington Fire Department remained on scene until the arrival of the Lehigh County coroner to provide lighting for the scene investigation."I would like to mention that the efforts at last night's event was an example of a great team effort on all parties involved," Nicholas said.Hickory Run drowningA 15-year-old boy was reported to have drowned at the pool shared by Camp Shehaqua/Camp Daddy Allen in Hickory Run State Park earlier Tuesday.According to Park Manager Dave Madl, rangers from the park responded immediately to the call and were aided by Albrightsville Volunteer Fire Company Quick Response Unit and Lake Harmony Ambulance.Lake Harmony transported the youth to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, where it was reported he did not survive. Calls to the Luzerne County Coroner's office were not returned as of press time.According to Madl, the camps were built in the 1930s under the Civil Conservation Corps and were to be used exclusively by nonprofit organizations. The camps are still used in this manner. The pool is located at the crossroads between the two camps and is for the use of the campers."The park does not provide lifeguards," said Madl. "However the group must provide valid lifeguard certification to the Park office before they are given the keys to the pool."Madl was present when the young man was being worked on by the emergency personal."All we could do at that point was say a prayer and hope for a good outcome," Madl said.Elsewhere, a search was being conducted this morning for the body of a swimmer who went missing in the Delaware River about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area officials told the Express-Times.This is the second incident in recent days in the Delaware.
