The bodies of a man and a woman were found in a New Jersey lake, but authorities say the deaths don't appear to be related.
The Essex County Sheriff's office received calls on Saturday about a body floating in a lake at Weequahic Park.
Deputies found the body of a woman shortly before noon. Her identity wasn't known.
When investigators from the prosecutor's office came to investigate, they found another body in a different section of the lake, prosecutors said.
The body of a man, whose identity wasn't known, was pulled from the lake about three hours after the woman.
The medical examiner will determine the cause of death for both.
