PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Hungarian officials say a female body recovered in the Delaware River is that of a missing student who disappeared after the amphibious tour boat she was riding in was struck by a barge.

A statement from Hungary’s foreign ministry says U.S. authorities informed its consul Friday that they had recovered the body of one of two Hungarian citizens missing since Wednesday’s accident.

Officials say the body of a young woman was recovered around 4:45 a.m. Friday, just north of the Walt Whitman Bridge in Philadelphia.

Sixteen-year-old Dora Schwendtner was one of two people who disappeared following the collision. The other, 20-year-old Szabolcs (SAH’-bolch) Prem, has not been found.
