Triathlete Disappears in Schuylkill

by KYW's Mike Dougherty

Police and marine units have suspended the search for a 40-year-old man who disappeared during the swimming portion of the Philadelphia Triathlon.

Authorities haven't revealed the identity of the man who was participating in the event.

Event organizers say their participant numbers didn't add up after the competitors got out of the water, so police began searching the Schuylkill at about 11 on Saturday morning -- they suspended their search four hours later with no sign of the man.

The incident remains under investigation.
