A man who police said went into a lake near the Camden County Library in Voorhees, New Jersey, has been found dead after an extensive search. He was identified as Juan Torres-Trinidad, from Voorhees.
Emergency services were called to the lake on Laurel Road shortly before midnight on Friday after surveillance footage reportedly showed Torres-Trinidad running into the water.
Officers who arrived at the scene saw him in the lake, but he went underwater before they could reach him.
Fire personnel, emergency management teams, rescue crews and divers joined the search. Torres-Trinidad’s body was recovered on Sunday morning.
Police have not said why he ran towards the water.
Anyone with information about what happened has been asked to contact Voorhees Police Department on 856-428-5400.
