He'd been in the water for several days, they said.

Felix Enrique Martinez, 48, left his home and headed toward Palisades Avenue last Thursday morning (Aug. 20), borough police said at the time.

He appeared in need of medical attention, they said.

Responders from Hackensack and Ridgefield Park searched the river soon after Martinez was reported missing without success.

Responding this Thursday were Hackensack firefighters, the Bogota and Ridgefield Park rescue squads, an Oradell dive team, Bergen County sheriff's officers, the Bergen County Medical Examiner's Office, Bogota police and a borough ambulance, among others.
