MacDonough Street in Bed-Stuy

The Fairfield Police Department announced Saturday afternoon that a male recovered from the waters off Lighthouse Point and Penfield Reef was pronounced dead.

The department said the Fairfield County Regional Dispatch Center received a report shortly after noon of two people who were struggling in the water.

Several bystanders were able to rescue one person, but the male was not immediately located, which prompted a rescue attempt by the department and other agencies.

A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter found the missing male at about 3 p.m., according to the department.

The department recovered the male, transferred him to a marine unit which took him to the shore where he was pronounced dead.

The victims were not immediately identified.
