Police say a Pennsylvania man drowned while swimming in the ocean in Wildwood over the weekend.

Authorities say that lifeguards went into the water to rescue several swimmers in distress and once back on shore they discovered the Middletown, Pennsylvania, man was missing. 

It happened around 12:50 p.m. Sunday.

Police say that the man’s body was discovered by surfers about two hours later. Police, fire and beach patrol units had been searching for the man.

There have been at least 10 drowning deaths at the Jersey Shore this summer. Many of the victims were caught in rip currents and were swimming when lifeguards were not on duty.
