Missing man found dead in Lake Quinsigamond in Shrewsbury off Sunset Beach
The search for a missing man in Lake Quinsigamond in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts ended Monday after his body was found.
Officers were called to Sunset Beach around 3:30 p.m. Sunday for what they said was a report of a man "possibly drowning."
"The initial first responders were unable to locate the victim," police said in a statement.
Divers, drones and more first responders were brought in for the search which lasted into the night, but the man was not found.
One witness, Michael Cruz of Shrewsbury, said rescuers were focusing on a life jacket in the lake.
"There was a jet ski circling a life jacket over there. As soon as I docked my jet ski, all the fire department and police started to roll in here. It's kind of a shock seeing all the neighbors coming outside all worried and stuff," Cruz told WBZ-TV.
The seach was called off for the night around 8:45 p.m. It resumed shortly after 8 a.m. Monday.
"I can confirm the individual was found shortly before 11:00AM this morning," Shrewsbury Fire Chief Seth Colby said in a statement Monday afternoon.
He was identified Tuesday afternoon as 31-year-old Yunio Ciromine Antonio Chaparro of Worcester. Authorities did not say how he ended up in the water.
No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
Shrewsbury, Massachusetts is about 39 miles west of Boston.
