The victim of the March 22 incident was from Edison, a spokesman for the bridge's operator said.
NEW CASTLE, Del. -- A body found found along the Delaware River shoreline this week has been positively identified as that of a New Jersey man who jumped to his death from the Delaware Memorial Bridge, authorities said.
The victim was a 45-year-old Edison resident, according to Jim Salmon, spokesman for the bridge's operator, the Delaware River and Bay Authority.
The man pulled his silver Honda Odyssey into the right-hand lane of the New Jersey-bound bridge near mid-span on March 22.
Authorities said he exited his vehicle and jumped around 7:35 a.m.
The distance from the bridge roadway to the water below is about 200 feet.
The waters around the bridge were immediately searched, but the man's body was not located.
The man's body was discovered on Monday around 12:30 p.m. south of the bridge along the Delaware River shoreline in Battery Park in Old New Castle, Delaware, Salmon said.
DRBA Police were called to the scene by New Castle City Police in the southern end of the popular park after a jogger spotted the man's body in the water near a jetty.
The body was taken to the Delaware State Medical Examiner's Office where positive identification was made, Salmon said.
It was not clear whether the man had left any type of note.
It is DRBA policy to not release the name of bridge jumpers.
