As reported by K104 and MidHudsonNews, the body of a 21 year old man who jumped from the Newburgh/Beacon bridge was found and recovered in the Hudson River on the Newburgh side on Monday morning, said State Police.
According to the article: “Police said the preliminary investigation revealed that the 21-year-old man, whose name was not made public, jumped from the mid-span of the bridge just before 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. He was a resident of Montgomery.”
The mid-span of the Newburgh/Beacon bridge is quite low. A person would not need to try hard to jump over it.
