CAMBRIDGE — Rescue boats from Rescue Fire Company and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources searched Wednesday evening for a teenager who apparently did not resurface at about 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, after jumping off the Dorchester County side of the Choptank River Fishing Piers at Cambridge.
Search teams recovered the teen's body at 7:45 p.m., deceased from apparent drowning, according to Candy Thomson, a spokesman for Maryland Natural Resources Police.
Another person who jumped into the river swam to a piling of the adjacent U.S. Route 50 bridge and was rescued by a passing boater, according to people fishing on the pier.

That's pretty sad. We are loosing kids left and right.
Did alcohols be a factor?
You play you Pay.
There should be a waiting period before jumping. We need laws.
Darwinism strikes again!
Sounds like a double dog dare you to me, except with a terrible tragedy at the end. If you can't swim for gods sake don't go in the water.
Bush's fault.
No alcohol wasn't a factor. The boys were being boys and unfortunately impetuous as most teens are, they didn't realise how strong the current was. It was a sad tragic accident
