The Camden County Prosecutor's Office and the Camden County Coroner were called to the scene following the recovery. Authorities have not publicly identified the man.

The sequence of events began late Friday, when officers were sent to the library property at 200 Laurel Road at about 11:50 p.m. after a 911 call. On arrival, police said, officers saw an adult man in a nearby lake. As they tried to make contact with him, he went under the water and did not come back up.

Investigators later reviewed surveillance footage that showed the man running alone toward the bank of the lake before entering the water, police said. No other people were seen with him in the video.

The search was suspended Saturday evening as darkness set in. It resumed Sunday with fire personnel, emergency management officials, dive teams and search-and-rescue crews dispatched to assist.

Police said there was no threat to public safety but asked residents to stay away from the immediate area so first responders would have room to work.

The lake sits behind the Camden County Library branch on Laurel Road, a busy corner of Voorhees near the township's municipal complex. The recovery drew county investigators and the coroner's office to the scene Sunday afternoon.

Anyone with information about the man or the circumstances leading up to the incident is asked to contact Voorhees police.
