BROOME COUNTY – On June 22, 2024, at 4:09 p.m., State Police in Binghamton responded to the Tioughnioga River near 4139 State Route 11 in the town of Lisle regarding a possible drowning.

The investigation determined that an 11-year-old male from Marathon, NY, was fishing with friends and decided to jump in the water to swim when he went under the water and didn't resurface due to the strong current.
