Both East Shoreham and Rocky Point are located near each other in Shoreham, and police searched the area to try to find Matthew for several weeks. They were unable to locate him at the time, per the outlet.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was very strange \u2026 We all thought he just left town. Got on a train or a bus,\u201d Sharon Healey, a neighbor of the homeowner who found the body, told WNBC.<\/p>\n
Police said they are continuing their investigation into the incident while waiting on autopsy results from the county medical examiner to confirm the identity of the victim found in the pool and his means of death, per the outlet.<\/p>\n
The Suffolk County Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n
The body was found floating in the pool of a veteran Suffolk County Police detective\u2019s home on Sunday, May 25, sources told WABC. The man had reportedly been opening his swimming pool for the season before Memorial Day when he made the discovery and called 911.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a Loop-Loc cover, but it appears that one of the portions of the Loop-Loc was undone, and somehow the body became secreted under that portion of the pool cover,\u201d Catalina said, per the outlet.<\/p>\n
The man said, per WNBC, that a portion of the pool cover had been opened, but he did not notice anything wrong prior to opening it. Catalina added, per WABC, that there was no foul play suspected in the backyard of the home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know why somebody would try to get under the cover. It\u2019s not a smart thing to do,\u201d the man\u2019s neighbor Paul Gawreluk told WNBC. \u201cI really wouldn\u2019t be happy opening my pool to find that.\u201d<\/p>\n
