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.
