Man's Body Found Floating in Lake in Pompano Beach

The Broward Sheriff's Office says the death of a man found floating in a lake behind a Pompano Beach warehouse does not appear to be suspicious.

Pompano Beach Fire Rescue responded to the location Sunday where they found the body of man, who was later identified as 41-year-old Rodger Smith Jr., who was homeless. He was pronounced man dead at the scene.

Detectives, who notified Smith’s family of his death, are investigating the circumstances that led up to his death. They say they are considering it a possible drowning. The Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office did conduct an autopsy, but the cause of death has not been determined.
