A family member tells Eyewitness News the man was hanging out by the creek with a friend when he had a seizure and fell into the water on Saturday night.
Multiple police, fire and EMS agencies launched an extensive search effort near Sun Drive and Hancock Street, close to the Eddystone border.
Along with search and rescue boats from Chester, Tinicum and Eddystone Fire, searchers used drones outfitted with infrared cameras, as they navigated north of the Chester Pike Bridge down to the Delaware River.
At this point, authorities are not saying if they suspect any foul play.
