Three guards jumped into the water and pulled the brothers out and administered CPR immediately, authorities said. They also called 911 and arriving paramedics arrived in minutes to aid in life-saving attempts.

The boys were then rushed to Bayonne Medical Center, but couldn’t be saved, police said.

The 16-year-old was a current Bayonne High School junior, while his 19-year-old brother had recently graduated from the school, according to Bayonne Public Schools Superintendent John Niesz.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and to all our community,” Niesz said in a statement. “We will have additional crisis counselors and guidance counselors [Thursday] at all schools.”
