For the second time in a week, a body was found floating in the Passaic River in Newark. Police say a Hispanic man was pulled to shore Wednesday night near Bridge Street and McCarter Highway.
Just one day earlier, and only blocks away, the body of a woman was found in the river.
There is no word yet on the name of the man and woman, how they died, or if there's any connection.
