The latest news from around the state
The Essex County District Attorney's Office announced around 5 p.m. that the victim had passed away.
Foul play is not suspected.
A sign by the water forbids swimming, informing people that it is a public drinking water supply. Police have tried to crack down on the problem by limiting parking. However, neighbors say teens regularly ignore the signs and swim anyway.
