The body of a 76-year-old man was found in Turtle Pond in Central Park, beside Belvedere Castle, on Monday, according to a police spokesperson.
The man, whose identity is known but was not released pending notification of his family, was pulled from the pond at around 4:30pm and pronounced dead.
“It doesn’t look like any criminality was involved,” the NYPD spokesperson said. “He may have had a medical incident and fallen in. That’s what we’re going with for now, but it’s for the Medical Examiner to determine.”
This is the second time in two weeks that a body was found in the waters of Central Park. A man was pulled from the Lake two weeks ago.
