Thames Valley Police were called to Bourne End Marina at 11.51pm on Friday (April 21) to reports that a person was in the river.
The man was found by emergency services but was sadly pronounced dead in hospital.
He has now been named as Andrew Bonner-Walter, who regularly moored his boat in the marina.
A spokesman for Bourne End Marina said: “We are very saddened to hear of Mr Andrew Bonner-Walter’s death at Bourne End on Friday night (21st April).
“He had been a berth holder at Bourne End with us since November last year. We’d obviously like to extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends at what must undoubtedly be a difficult time.
