Fully clothed corpse pulled from Central Park pond after body found nearby

The body of a fully clothed man was pulled from a park in New York City’s Central Park just weeks after a decomposing corpse was found in a nearby lake.

Police recovered the clothed body floating facedown in Turtle Pond on Monday evening. The deceased person was in his 20s. No criminal activity has been suspected in the death.

The medical examiner’s office is investigating how the man died.

Turtle Pond got its name because a colony of invasive turtles are living in it, most of them abandoned by their owners.

It is the second body to be taken out of a body of water in Central Park within a two-week time frame.

On September 30, cops found a partially decomposed body in a lake close to 79th Street and West Drive, according to the New York Daily News. The person was a man in his 20s and was also fully clothed, and pronounced dead at the scene.
