A Maryland man who had been reported missing was found dead in a river on Monday, according to Salisbury Police.
According to officers, Deaquan White, 29, was reported missing on Saturday, Sept. 6. His body was found in the Wicomico River on Monday, Sept. 8.
Police responded to the area near Mill Street and Main Street around 9:30 a.m. to recover his body.

His body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy to determine the cause of his death.
Missing Maryland woman found dead
White’s death comes shortly after a similar situation played out in Prince George’s County.
In that case, 19-year-old Dacara Thompson, who had been reported missing, was found dead along a highway in Anne Arundel County.
Hugo Hernandez-Mendez, 35, was charged with her death and is being held on no bail. Court documents show that he was living in the U.S. unlawfully.
Thompson was reported missing on August 23. Her family said she left home that night, telling her dad she was going to get gas, and never returned. Her body was found nearly a week later, on August 31.
An investigation revealed that Thompson got into Hernandez-Mendez’s car in Hyattsville and went to his home in Bowie, where she was allegedly killed.
According to charging documents, Hernandez-Mendez dropped Thompson’s body off the U.S. 50 bridge.
The investigation also revealed that Hernandez-Mendez had been arrested by U.S. Park Police for a DUI charge nearly five months before Thompson’s alleged murder. He was released from custody.

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Maryland State Del. Nino Mangione was picked over the weekend to serve as the County Council’s newest member.
The move came Saturday, when the two-person Baltimore County Republican Central Committee held a public hearing and a vote at the Holiday Inn Timonium.
Mangione was one of seven candidates vying to fill the 3rd District seat left vacant in May by Councilman Wade Kach, who resigned due to health issues after serving on the County Council for more than 11 years.
Other candidates who competed for the 3rd District seat included Todd Huff, Lynne Jones, Tim Braue, Eric Rockel, Gerard Wittstadt, and E.J. McNulty.
Mangione was the only figure who simultaneously ran for a council seat in this year’s election bid. He is also running as a 5th District candidate, which includes most of the current 3rd District.
The county is operating under a new redistricting map that was approved for the 2026 election cycle last year. The map was passed in a 5-2 vote.
Baltimore County will hold its primary election on June 23.
