BALTIMORE -- Baltimore County police are investigating after a body was found Thursday afternoon in Quarry Lake in Pikesville, authorities said.

Officers were called to the scene near the corner of Stone Cliff Drive and Greenspring Avenue, about 12:30 p.m. in response to an unresponsive person, Baltimore County Police said. Upon arrival, they found someone's body in the lake.

"As our officers approached, they were able to discover an unresponsive person in Quarry Lake," Det. Trae Corbin said. "And since that, our water rescue efforts have been affected, and we are currently investigating the situation."

While first responders could be seen moving back-and-forth along Quarry Lake Drive, police did not say whether they were able to recover.

There's no word yet on how the person, whose identity was not immediately known, wound up in the lake or whether investigators suspect foul play.

Neighbors took notice of the situation, which left some of them rattled.

"It's a little unsettling," one neighbor told WJZ. "Definitely unusual."
