Authorities say the kayaker capsized on the Brandywine River near the North Market Street Bridge was carried down the river by the swift current.
A police officer and a paramedic were able to pull the victim, who was unresponsive, from the water and began CPR.
The victim, whose name was not released, was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
A flash flood watch is in effect until 7 p.m. Tuesday for northern Delaware, as a cold front and the remnants of Hurricane Florence moved through the region.
