Uyobong who just graduated from New Jersey City University with a degree in chemistry on May 15th went out with friends on a rafting trip near Lumberland, N.Y where he drowned after taking off his life jacket and jumped into the water to swim.
Apparently the deceased had told his friends he wasn't a good swimmer before swimming in the 20-foot cold river.
Joe Hinkes, chief ranger of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River said his body was found 5 miles downstream from where he was last seen on May 25.
Uyobong had planned to visit his mother in Nigeria next month before his untimely death.
