Upper Saddle River NJ, for the second time in a week a body of a man was discovered in Lake Hopatcong. Police confirm the body of another man was recovered there Tuesday following an overnight search.
NJ State Troopers from the New Jersey State Police Marine Services Bureau were summoned to the Henderson Cove area of New Jersey’s largest lake at 1:59 p.m. on Monday, following a report of an overdue boater, Sgt. Philip Curry stated.
Initial search results in the area of an unoccupied vessel failed to produce results but as the search continued into Tuesday, NJ State Police TEAMS Unit divers recovered the deceased victim, identified as the vessel’s owner, Edward Sikora, 80, of Upper Saddle River.
The official cause of death is pending autopsy and the case remains under investigation, Curry advised.
Sikora’s death follows the death of a 76-year-old man whose submerged body was recovered July 18 in Lake Hopatcong. Curry advised on that occasion, troopers responded to a missing persons report near a Lake Hopatcong marina on Brady Road in Jefferson at 7:05 p.m. The State Police TEAMS Unit divers later found the body just below the surface, near an unoccupied Chris-Craft boat partially tied to the dock with the motor still running. The victim was not identified.
