Police have identified the body of a man found in the Delaware River on July 4 as Richard Mascaro, 66, of Warminster.
Mascaro went into the water at 7:40 p.m. on July 2 as he and four others made for the Delaware River Yacht Club at 9635 Milnor St. as a storm approached, police said Monday. A wave capsized the 21-foot sailboat Buttercup, and all five went into the river near Pennypack Street, police said.
