PENNSAUKEN - Emergency responders pulled a lifeless man from the Cooper River Thursday, one day after a body was recovered from the Delaware River.

In Thursday's incident, responders initially mounted a rescue effort after a man was seen floating in the Cooper around 8 a.m., but soon switched to a recovery effort.

The body was removed from the stream near the running track at Cooper River Park, Pennsauken Police Capt. Michael Probasco said.

He said the man had no identification and police were working to determine his name.

The man did not appear to have been in the water for an extended period, Probasco said.

An autopsy was conducted Thursday afternoon, but the results were not immediately available.

Additional information about the incident, which drew responders from Pennsauken and Collingswood, was also not available.

Also Thursday, New Jersey State Police identified the victim of the previous day's incident as a Palmyra man.

The body of Bruce Horner, 37, was recovered from the Delaware River off Delanco shortly before 7 p.m. Wednesday. A search for Horner began around two hours earlier after a swimmer was reported missing from the river near the mouth of Rancocas Creek.

Horner's Facebook page contains dozens of photographs showing boating activities.

The recovery effort, which included personnel from the State Police and Delanco, was mounted from Hawk Island Marina off Rancocas Avenue.
