Long Island resident finds body while uncovering pool for the season (wait till you see who it might be) 😬 [and who's pool it is!]

Just when you thought it was time to sunscreen up and grab a cold one to slip in that pool floaty, you discover something like this:

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/long-island/long-island-homeowner-uncovering-pool-for-summer-finds-body-floating-in-water/6278493/

Yes, on Sunday morning an East Shoreham (NY) resident removed his pool cover for the summer only to realize there had been a dead body floating in his pool for who knows how long.

The homeowner did not want to be named and definitely didn't want to talk to the media, so I'll go ahead and respect his privacy.

Interestingly enough, investigators are looking into whether the body might be that of 23-year-old fugitive Matthew Zoll, who police believe stabbed his father to death last November. Zoll went on the run after the stabbing, crashing his car about a half mile from where this body was found.

And yes, police had searched, last fall, this very neighborhood with the dirty pool.

The surprise twist? The property with the dirty pool is said to belong to a member of the task force that was searching for Zoll. Police declined to confirm this detail when asked by the media.

Regardless, the East Shoreham resident is going to need a deep clean of that pool.

Maybe someone hepped the p0lice with their search. And now the p0lice are all upset.

Yyyeahhh. That's not the LEAST bit suspicious.

Sounds like the plot of a Bones episode.

My guess is that the perp hid in the covered pool until the cops went away, not realizing that hyperthermia will set in rather quickly in November weather and you lose consciousness and die..................

That part makes sense. But the part about the home belonging to a member of the task force looking for him sounds suspicious. If that is really the case. The article is written in such a way that the home may not belong to such a person.

In a police officer pool? Is it a coincidence?

Probably. The cost of cleaning that pool will be very expensive..........................

Just drag him out and throw in a little extra pool shock, everything will be fine.

Could be that someone knew who the perp was and decided to deliver him to the cops in a way that they could not just dismiss the charges.

Not really. It takes a government employee's salary to afford a pool.
