SAUGUS — An East Boston man drowned at Breakheart Reservation Monday morning.
The 35-year-old man was found submerged near some rocks where he was trying to get out of the water, according to the Essex County District Attorney’s office. He was pulled from the pond by Saugus police and emergency services and taken to Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The man’s name was not immediately released by the DA’s office. He was swimming with his 8-year-old son and 9-year-old nephew in an area marked “No Swimming,” according to Essex County DA’s spokeswoman Carrie Kimball-Monahan.
The DA’s office is investigating the death, but no foul play is suspected, according to Kimball-Monahan.
