PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Coast guard says they have suspended a search of the Seekonk River in Providence after they did not find a man who was reported to have fallen into the water.

The Coast Guard said that someone had called rescue around 6 p.m. to report that they had seen a man fall into the water near the Washington Bridge.
