Man dies after jumping into lake at SoFi Stadium in California
A person died after leaping right into a man-made lake Wednesday morning at SoFi Stadium — the house of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, authorities mentioned.
The 45-year-old man was reportedly trespassing on the property of the Inglewood, California stadium at about 6 a.m. when he ventured to the 15-foot-deep lake, swam to the middle and by no means resurfaced, Inglewood Mayor James Butts mentioned at a press convention.
The person, who hasn’t been recognized, first hopped a fence to entry the car parking zone of the stadium.
Stadium safety guards noticed the person on surveillance footage and referred to as police, however the rescue effort rapidly changed into a physique retrieval mission.
Divers from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Division Particular Enforcement Bureau recovered the man’s body from the lake greater than three hours later.
Officers don’t know why the person was on the stadium or why he went into the water, Butts mentioned.
The mayor added that he didn’t consider there was something SoFi Stadium might have carried out to stop the tragedy.
“That is somebody who made a acutely aware choice to trespass onto the property, get into the lake and he ended up having some misery and problem so I don’t suppose that SoFi might have carried out to stop this,” Butts mentioned.
