Police said they have recovered the bodies of two New York men who they believe drowned while swimming last week in the Housatonic River in New Milford.
Police received a 911 call about 4:50 p.m. June 10 from a caller who said two men went under water while swimming off the river’s east bank, near Route 7 in the Gaylordsville section of town. The men were with family members and friends.
More than a dozen teams of police officers, firefighters and other rescuers searched for the men, but couldn’t find them. They resumed the search Friday and again on Saturday.
