Authorities believe the body found in a Long Island homeowner’s pool could be a fugitive who had eluded capture for several months.
An individual in East Shoreham, New York, discovered a man’s body as they were preparing to open their summer pool on May 25 around 4:20 p.m., according to the Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD) as reported by Fox News Digital.
Authorities said the unnamed homeowner was removing the protective cover from his swimming pool when he saw the body.
The SCPD said the body belongs to 23-year-old Matthew Zoll, who was wanted after allegedly killing his father in November 2024.
