PHILADELPHIA — The body of one of two missing Hungarians was recovered this morning from the Delaware River near where a 250-foot barge collided with a stalled amphibious sightseeing boat, throwing 37 people into the water.

A statement from Hungary's foreign ministry said U.S. authorities had told its consul that they had recovered the body of a female Hungarian citizen missing since Wednesday's accident.

Sixteen-year-old Dora Schwendtner was one of two people who disappeared after the collision. The other, 20-year-old Szabolcs Prem, has not been found.

The girl's body was recovered about 4:45 a.m. near the Walt Whitman Bridge by members of the Philadelphia Fire Department, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Crystal Kneen. The bridge is down the river from the site of the collision.

As divers began preparations to haul the sunken boat from the water Friday morning, television cameras captured the image of a body floating face-down near the salvage site. The body surfaced briefly before submerging again.

Police did not immediately comment on whether it could be the body of the missing 20-year-old.
