Someone I used to work with a father died on the River. Its so dangerous.

I will update this post as soon as I get more info.

Yeah there's walking paths on both sides of the river under the bridge. There's also homeless encampments on the southern side.

I believe so. It’s hard for me to picture the area. I haven’t been out that way in a v long time. I’m assuming there’s a path under the bridge along the waters edge? Trying to get more details.

Does that mean under the bridge where Aiken St goes over the Merrimack River, in Lowell?

I’ll DM his sister right now and get back to you asap. I know his belongings were found under the Aiken st Bridge around 10am Sunday. I am unsure which side of the river though. Edit: spelling

Same. Be good!

100% great point. I use to work in an industry where I was exposed to some pretty extreme trauma. You don’t forget those nights. You remember some of the worst details so vividly. I was young and didn’t have a healthy coping mechanism so it was good that I moved on.

Sure is. I don’t use Facebook but my wife has been showing me updates and my heart just aches for his family. I feel like everyone knows that people have been going there and to other bridges across the city for a long, long time. That river is dangerous

This is heartbreaking. I live up Aiken Ave. I feel like so much happens at the bridge.

I hope they find this fella. I caution anyone who might volunteer to anticipate how they might feel upon finding a dead body, especially if the person's sister is at the scene. Search and Rescue professionals have training for this scenario and they have access to followup counseling and support services to help them process the experience.

That's so sad. I hope for the best.

I'm in North Chelmsford and have a drone. I could do some short runs Friday around noon if you DM me where along the river they'd like to have checked.

His bag was found under the Aiken at Bridge Sun morning by a couple. A few days later those people answered his phone and told his sister where they found his stuff. The next day they returned his bag and gave her more details. I am unsure which side of the bridge his belongings were found.

I haven’t seen the guy in years but he has always been nice to me and kind to my wife. Everyone who’s family is in one of these situations deserves an answer.

FYI. I was able to verify this post is true and accurate.

Thank you & yes the police have definitely been notified. They’re likely going to have a dive team search for him. His poor sister is desperate for answers and can’t wait any longer. Thank you for passing the word.

I asked someone people with drones if they're interested. I know not all drones are heavy duty and the winds above the river can be strong. Also not sure who is around.

Have you contacted Lowell police? I was told they have search drones.

yeah! curation 250. tons of cool lowell-themed stuff there.

If they’re studying at UMass Lowell specifically, the UML Riverhawk Shop has tons of themed stuff.

Wow, I didn't know that. I gotta grab one. Someday we will find the lost footage.

Lowell Public Schools have a store front at the Family Resource Center.
