SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts (WBZ) — Divers spent several hours looking for a missing man in Lake Quinsigamond in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, Sunday.
Officers were called to Sunset Beach around 3:30 p.m. for what they said was a report of a man “possibly drowning.”
“The initial first responders were unable to locate the victim,” police said in a statement.
Divers, drones and more first responders were brought in for the search which lasted into the night, but the man was not found. His name has not been made public.
One witness, Michael Cruz of Shrewsbury, said rescuers were focusing on a life jacket in the lake.
“There was a jet ski circling a life jacket over there. As soon as I docked my jet ski, all the fire department and police started to roll in here. It’s kind of a shock seeing all the neighbors coming outside all worried and stuff,” Cruz told WBZ-TV.
The search was called off for the night around 8:45 p.m. There’s no word yet on if it will resume Monday morning.
No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
Shrewsbury, Massachusetts is about 39 miles west of Boston.
