From the ODMP Website:
Officer Bray, a member of the police department's marine unit, drowned while attempting to recover a sunken channel marker in the Delaware River. He and two other marine unit officers were working with the U.S. Coast Guard to attempt to recover the buoy. Several minutes into the dive Officer Bray radioed that he was tangled and was instructed to cut the line, however, he did not surface. Other officers were able to bring him to the surface and transport him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Officer Bray had been with the agency for 23 years and is survived by his wife and three grown children.
