Actually two boaters died in the last week on the Delaware River.

39-year old Cheeyen Yap drowned at the Delaware Water Gap just downstream from the Rt. 80 bridge. His body has yet to be recovered.

Another man fell out of a 16-foot boat and drowned in South Jersey. His body was eventually found in Beverly Township. As far as I can find, his name has not been released.

A third body was found near Christopher Columbus Blvd and Reed Street in Philadelphia, but the police don't think it was a boater.

I haven't heard anything about Cheeyen Yap. He may still be in the river.

There was a body found in the Delaware River on Saturday in Upper Mount Bethel Pa a few miles south of where Cheeyen Yap was last seen there hasn’t been any confirmation yet that I’m aware of but there hasn’t been anyone else missing in the river

Good catch - Yes, a body was found by an angler that presumably was the missing canoeist guy.

That makes three-for-three.
