Body of Paramus health and fitness coach, 35, recovered from Vermont river

The body of a 35-year-old Paramus man is believed to have been recovered from a river in Vermont on Wednesday afternoon, about four days after going missing.

According to a series of statements from the Vermont State Police, they were first notified of a missing swimmer at the Warren Falls in Warren, Vermont on Saturday at about 1:43 p.m.

Search and recovery efforts for the swimmer, later identified by Vermont State Police as Tuan Baldino, 35, of Paramus were periodically paused due to the conditions of the Mad River which was experiencing “high and swift water.”

The area of the Mad River at Warren Falls was closed to the public while search and recovery efforts were underway.

According to the most recent statement from Vermont State Police, search and recovery crews recovered a body from the Mad River at Warren Falls late Wednesday afternoon.

The recovered body, which is believed to be Baldino, was taken to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington, Vermont for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death and to confirm identity.

A fitness and health coach, Baldino was the owner of Fitness Gainz Academy LLC in Bergen County, according to his social media pages. He graduated from Kean University with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and from Bergen Community College with an associate’s degree in exercise science.

The incident does not appear suspicious, according to the Vermont State Police.
