“Unfortunately, the male victim was not capable of traversing the body of water clearly marked as a No Swimming area, and succumbed to the struggle in the water. An eyewitness testimony recounts a lack of concern from the other 3 male patrons in the group, along with an unusual eagerness to vacate the scene immediately during the incident, as well as the refusal to contact 911,” the park said in the post.
The park also said foul play has not been ruled out and the sheriff’s office is on scene investigating.
