The New York Waterway captain summoned borough police after finding the resident’s items, which also included a jacket, gloves, a hat and keys, on the pier at the Edgewater Marina on River Road shortly before 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 13, Chief Donald Martin said.
The man entered the marina around 3 a.m. and “made his way towards the ferry terminal that is located to the rear of the marina,” Martin said Wednesday afternoon.
“It is presumed at this point in the investigation that the male then entered into the Hudson River after leaving behind his belongings at the end of the pier,” he said.
There is no foul play suspected, Martin said.
The chief thanked the NYPD and Palisades Interstate Parkway police harbor patrol units for their assistance.
