Pa. man drowns in New River

THURMOND, W.Va. (AP) — New River Gorge National River authorities have identified the body of a Pennsylvania man who drowned in the New River.

Chief Ranger Gary Hartley says two fishermen discovered the body of 21-year-old Alfredo Garcia of West Chester, Pa., Monday morning.

Hartley says Garcia was with a group that planned to go rafting Friday. While waiting to begin the trip, some went to the river to swim. Hartley said Garcia tried to swim out to a rock, but the strong current pulled him under. He was not wearing a life jacket.
