MAHWAH No one was supposed to be swimming in the pond where a 24-year-old man drowned on Monday after losing his balance on a paddle board, according to Mayor James Wysocki.
Divers pulled the body of Mario Morales, 24, out of Dators Pond on Tuesday afternoon after a search by divers in the water, which Mahwah police said is thick with vegetation.
Morales was with his brother on Monday when he fell into the water, according to police. The Morales family told NBC New York that Morales shouted goodbye to his brother as he lost his struggle to resurface.
State Police spokesman Charles Marchan confirmed Morales identity on Wednesday.

Trooper Charles Marchan said the Honda was stolen.
In the getaway attempt, the car ran off the road, struck a curb and became disabled, Marchan said.

A seriously-injured Rockland County driver was flown out by medical chopper and his 2-year-old daughter was also hospitalized following a freak accident Thursday morning, May 6 on Route 287, said NJ State Police, who were seeking witnesses.
A wheel became dislodged from a northbound vehicle, bounded over the median, and crashed into a southbound Ford Fusion in the area of Exit 58 just south of Skyline Drive in Oakland shortly before 8:30 a.m., Trooper Charles Marchan said.
The Ford then struck the center and right barriers before careening into the woods off the highway, he said.
Southbound Route 287 was closed so the medical helicopter could touch down on the roadway and pick up the 29-year-old Spring Valley driver after he was extricated.
