Body found in pond at East Sacramento’s McKinley Park

A male adult was found dead in a pond Monday morning at East Sacramento’s McKinley Park, Sacramento police said.

Police officers received a call from someone at the park at 7:59 a.m., department spokesman Vance Chandler said, and police officers responded but initially were unable to recover the man’s body.

Firefighters then were called out to assist in pulling him out of the water, said Sacramento Fire Department spokesman Keith Wade.

Police are currently investigating the matter but homicide has been ruled out because there were no obvious injuries to the body and no “suspicious circumstances” around the man’s death, said SPD spokesman Marcus Basquez.

No further details are available at this time, and anyone with information can contact the police department’s non-emergency number at 916-264-5471.
