Suffolk County police say a man's body was found in a pool at a Shoreham home Sunday afternoon.

Detectives say a homeowner was removing the protective cover from his pool when he made the discovery at 4:20 p.m.

The Suffolk Crime Scene Unit and medical examiners responded to the home on Pal Court.

Police closed Pal Court at Cobblestone Drive for several hours while they investigated.

Neighbors who saw the police activity say they were shocked by what was found on their block.

“I look over to the left and there’s about like five cop cars," said Alex Ward, a neighbor who lives down the road. “It’s getting nice, and people are opening up their pools and everything. That’s crazy just to witness that."

The cause of death and identity of the man were not immediately clear as of Sunday night. Police say the Suffolk County Medical Examiner will perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death and identification.
