A large police response was seen by local residents all morning near the Burnt Tavern Manor area, and Della Fave said the scene at the lake was immediate cordoned off so an investigation could be conducted.

“At this time there is nothing to indicate that the finding presents any danger to area residents,” said Della Fave.

Investigators do not believe the death was suspicious and there were no outward signs of foul play, Della Fave said. The Ocean County Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.
