Search to Resume for Man Who Went Underwater in Voorhees, New Jersey

Emergency crews are scheduled to resume searching Brookdale Echelon Lake in Voorhees, New Jersey, on Sunday morning, November 15, for a man who disappeared beneath the surface late Friday.

Voorhees police said officers responded to a 911 call near the Camden County Library on Laurel Road at about 11:50 p.m. Friday. They saw a man in the lake behind the library. He went underwater and did not resurface as officers tried to make contact with him.

Dive teams searched throughout Saturday without finding him. Crews paused the search Saturday evening and planned to return Sunday morning.

Investigators said surveillance video showed the man running alone toward the water before he entered the lake. Police asked residents to avoid the immediate area so emergency crews could work.
