Warrington Township Police Department personnel, along with Warrington Fire Company and Warrington Community Ambulance Corps personnel, responded to the area of Easton Road north of the Creekview Shopping Center for the report of a male who had jumped into the Little Neshaminy Creek from the Easton Road bridge.

Upon arrival, emergency responders located an unresponsive male in the creek. Rescue personnel removed the male from the water; however, he was found to be deceased with no signs of life. He was pronounced deceased by Warrington Community Ambulance Corps personnel at approximately 1:35 PM.

Easton Road was closed in all directions during the rescue and recovery operation, as well as the subsequent on-scene investigation.

Multiple witnesses called 911 reporting that they observed the male, later identified walking southbound in the outside lane of Easton Road along the shoulder of the roadway while repeatedly looking back toward their vehicles.

Witnesses further reported that the male approached the bridge overpass at the Little Neshaminy Creek and subsequently jumped over the concrete barrier of the bridge into the creek below. The fall was estimated to be approximately 23 feet. Rescue personnel reported the water depth in the area to be approximately waist deep.

The Bucks County Coroner’s Office positively identified the deceased as Eugene Bord, 45, of Warrington, Pennsylvania. The official cause and manner of death remain pending the completion of the coroner’s investigation. Family members have been notified.

The Warrington Township Police Department extends our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Mr. Bord during this difficult time.
