The Sheriff’s Office dive team recovered a body from a Lakewood retention pond Wednesday afternoon in Jacksonville, but the man’s identity and how long he was in the water are unclear.
Foul play is not suspected, Sgt. Chuck Ford said. He said it’s too early to know what happened to the man and investigators will go through missing-person reports to determine if there could be a match.
Someone eating lunch spotted the body about noon in the 3500 block of University Boulevard West behind a stretch of businesses near St. Augustine Road.
