One teenager is dead and another is in critical condition after being pulled from the Bronx River Friday afternoon.
Authorities say emergency crews responded to a report of two swimmers missing near Starlight Park Friday afternoon.
About a half hour later, they say the first teen was rescued.
The second teen, identified by police as 13-year-old Erickson Villa of the Bronx, wasn’t pulled from the water until nearly an hour later.
Police say both teens were taken to Saint Barnabas Hospital, where the second teen was pronounced dead.
The first teen remains there in critical condition.
Police say they believe the teens were swimming before they disappeared.
The investigation is ongoing.
