Body Found in Lake Como Identified

Authorities have identified the man whose body was found at the bottom of Lake Como on Friday.

The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office says Justin Cook, 32, lived in Jackson, but was visiting friends in the Lake Como area.

The Belmar Water Inspection Team was called to the lake Friday morning after a passerby reported seeing a person enter the water and fail to come out.  Clothes were found on shore, and Cook's body was discovered in about 3 feet of water.

An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of Cook's death, but the case is not being considered suspicious.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office Detective Patrick Petruziello at 1-800-533-7443 or the Lake Como Police Department at 732-681-3081.
