Authorities believe the body found in a Long Island homeowner’s pool could be a fugitive who had eluded capture for several months.

At around 4:20 p.m. on May 25, a resident of East Shoreham, New York, came across a male body when preparing to open their pool for the summer, according to confirmation provided by the Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD) to Fox News Digital.

Authorities said the unnamed homeowner was removing the protective cover from his swimming pool when he saw the body.

The SCPD said  the body belongs to 23-year-old Matthew Zoll, who was wanted after allegedly killing his father in November 2024.
