The cause of the collapse at the Crab House restaurant at the Two Mile Inn in Lower Township remains under investigation.
Officials estimate that about 1,0000 people may have been inside the facility when the section gave way around 7:30p.m.
Shortly after the collapse occurred, state police dive teams entered the water near the wreckage and searched the area for about two hours to ensure that no victims were trapped.
But all patrons and staff have been accounted for.
