The body one of the 18-year-old teens who went missing in the swollen Neshaminy Creek was removed by marine recovery units just after 1 p.m.
Dan Tadrzynski, 18, of Bensalem, was discovered at around 11:40 a.m. Thursday after the family of missing teen Perry Krewson found the body partially submerged in the muddy waters of the creek behind the VCA Neshaminy Animal Hospital on Bristol Road near Old Lincoln Highway, police said.

Krewson’s body remains missing, and emergency officials continue their efforts to find him in the creek.
As water in the rain-swollen creek receded, Tadrzynski’s body was revealed, Bensalem Public Safety Director Fred Harran said. The area where the body was found is where the bulk of the search has been conducted.

The location of Tadrzynski’s body is not too far from where the teens were swimming with a friend in the area of Neshaminy Falls when the current took them away at around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. The one teen made to shore while the 18 year olds did not, officials said. The lone teen called 9-1-1 to report his friends were missing, and a slew of emergency crews responded to the area.

Distraught friends and family of the teens were seen in the area of the animal hospital. Many were shielded by a green blanket, as emergency workers milled around them at the scene.
PhillyBurbs.com reports that Tadrzynski was a graduate of Bucks County Technical High School in Bristol Township.

Crews from across the area searched the creek from the air, land and sea since the two were reported missing. Until Thursday, officials had little luck.
Harran said the teens are not believed to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time they went missing.
The county coroner was spotted removing the teen’s boy from the water.
