Body of Neptune N.J. teen Naisere Nelson found
The body of missing Neptune, NJ teenager Naisere Nelson was found in Avon, NJ after he disappeared while swimming.

The body of missing Neptune, N.J. teenager Naisere Nelson was found yesterday under the Ocean Avenue bridge in Avon, N.J., reports various outlets.
The unfortunate incident
Nelson, 15, disappeared after being pulled away from strong rip tides while swimming in Bradley Beach, N.J. last week.
Bradley Beach Police Chief Leonard Guida said a family friend, who is also a police officer, identified the body of Naisere Nelson.
Guida said an official identification and the exact cause of death would follow an autopsy scheduled for today.
The Ocean Avenue Bridge is about 1 1/2 miles south of the beach where Nelson was swept out to sea, according to an Associated Press report.
According to CBS News, Nelson was swimming in the ocean when he became caught in a rip current along with two other people.
Victor Pierez, 27, and Stephanie Crespo, 28, both of Elizabeth, reached the shore but Nelson didn’t.
After noticing Nelson was in trouble, a call was made for his rescue. Within minutes, at least 75 ANSWER team members, emergency personnel, from Bradley Beach, Neptune, and Avon responded.
The search was called off when a storm hit. After the storm ended, the search continued until 2 p.m. the next day, but Nelson wasn’t found.
