    A man’s body was found around 8 a.m. on Sunday in the Conservatory Pond in Central Park near 74th Street on the East side of the park. That pond is known for its toy sailboats.

    The unidentified man was pronounced dead at the scene, and the medical examiner will determine the cause of death. It’s the third body found recently in the park. There was no criminality suspected in the first two deaths, and police say this investigation is ongoing.
