Police Investigate Mysterious Drowning of 73-Year-Old Man

Authorities are investigating the death of seventy-three-year-old Pedro Gonzalez, whose lifeless body was found face down in a shallow pool of water on Thursday night in the Fresh Pond area. The grim discovery was made by his son, James Romero, upon returning home. Police are awaiting autopsy results to confirm the cause of death.

Romero, a resident of Burrell Boom, had expected a quiet evening after a long day at work. However, upon arriving home, he noticed that none of the lights were on, which immediately raised concern. Calling out for his father and receiving no response, he began searching the yard. It was then that he spotted one of Gonzalez’s shoes outside the pond. Looking into the water, he saw his father floating lifelessly.

“Basically when I arrived home yesterday, I realised that none of my lights was on, and I instantly began looking for him and healing him, and I didn’t have any response from him. So I went looking around the yard when I located one of his shoes outside the pond. And I looked inside, and I saw him floating in the water,” he said.

Adding to the mystery, Romero noted that Gonzalez’s wallet, phone, and another shoe were found scattered near the water. “Basically when I arrived home yesterday, I realised that none of my lights was on, and I instantly began looking for him and healing him, and I didn’t have any response from him. So I went looking around the yard when I located one of his shoes outside the pond. And I looked inside, and I saw him floating in the water.”

Gonzalez was found with blood pooling from his face, a condition that can occur in drowning cases. However, authorities have not ruled out other possibilities and are waiting for the post-mortem examination to determine the official cause of death.

Commissioner of Police Chester Williams provided an update, stating that police had processed the scene and found no signs of violence. “Basically when I arrived home yesterday, I realised that none of my lights was on, and I instantly began looking for him and healing him, and I didn’t have any response from him. So I went looking around the yard when I located one of his shoes outside the pond. And I looked inside, and I saw him floating in the water,” Williams said.

There has been speculation that Gonzalez may have been drinking before his death, but Romero refuted this claim. “He didn’t go anywhere that day. So I don’t think he was drinking or anything. He actually doesn’t even like to drink. He doesn’t drink like that.”
