Authorities believe the body found in a Long Island homeowner’s pool could be a fugitive who had eluded capture for several months.

An East Shoreham, New York, homeowner found a male body while opening his summer pool for the season at approximately 4:20 p.m. on May 25, the Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD) confirmed to Fox News Digital.

Authorities said the unnamed homeowner was removing the protective cover from his swimming pool when he saw the body.

The SCPD said  the body belongs to 23-year-old Matthew Zoll, who was wanted after allegedly killing his father in November 2024.
