1 Brother Dead, 1 Missing After Group Dives From 'Jaws' Bridge in Martha's Vineyard

KEY POINTS

The divers were siblings and worked as seasonal restaurant workers
Search for the other missing person halted due to bad weather
Massachusetts State Police have ruled out any wrongdoing

One of the two swimmers who went missing after a group dove from the "Jaws" bridge in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, was found dead. The search for the other diver, identified as his younger sibling, was halted due to bad weather.

The victims were identified as Tavaris Bulgin, 26, and Tavaughn Bulgin, 21.

Massachusetts State Police said Tuesday that the pursuit for the second of the two Jamaican siblings was paused due to risky conditions for divers, but that officials are evaluating the weather on a daily basis to determine the best time to resume the search, USA Today reported.

The bridge, monikered the "Jaws" bridge after its appearance in the 1975 shark-thriller movie, is officially called the American Legion Memorial Bridge. It is quite popular with locals and tourists despite authorities warning of the risks of going swimming in the waters after dark.

The spokesperson emphasized that the cause of Travis' death or the circumstances that led the four into danger have not been ascertained.

The coast guards started searching for the boys after the initial reports of missing swimmers were filed around 11:30 p.m Sunday. The body of the older brother, Travis, was recovered at around 6:30 a.m. Monday after an intensive search through the night.

Oak Bluffs Fire Chief Nelson Wirtz told the Boston Globe that the water current in the swimming hotspot is dangerous. "The water does run through very, very fast. For someone who's a good swimmer, it's OK. I do not know how well these people swam," Writz said.

The group of young divers were seasonal workers at a restaurant in Martha's Vineyard, the state police confirmed to Chron.

"Thankfully, two of them were recovered fairly quickly with no injuries," Coast Guard spokesperson Adam Sansoucie told the New York Post.

The district attorney's office claimed there is no evidence of wrongdoing. Massachusetts State Police is currently investigating the situation in coordination with divers, marine unit and the Massachusetts Environmental Police.

The island has been popular ever since the movie "Jaws," by Steven Spielberg was filmed here.
