The Morris County Medical Examiner has ruled the deaths of the Boonton mother and her 11-year-old son, whose bodies were recovered from the Rockaway River last week, to be accidental, law-enforcement authorities said Tuesday.
The bodies of Warda Syed, 35, and her son, Uzair Ahmed, were discovered in the early evening of Feb. 23 in the water at the top of a dam in the Upper Pond of Grace Lord Park, where a waterfall empties into a river gorge. There is no cause to believe there was any criminal activity involved in either individual’s death, Acting Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll wrote in a statement released by his office. Out of respect and consideration for the family of the deceased, there will be no further comment on the circumstances of the incident.
