The Orange County Sheriff’s Department Dive Team responded to the scene and found the subject at the southern end of the lake. However, when the team got to him, they signaled for death.

Authorities Identify Risks and Remind of Safety Regulations

According to Kristy Wells, a Fullerton police officer, there is no reason to believe that foul play was involved in it. The man's name is withheld from the public until his family can be informed. In addition she added that swimming in Laguna Lake is strictly forbidden even if it could have been a cycling area. Depending on where you are around it varies but its edges are shallow while its middle consists of 9-10 feet water. For this reason, there is a clear sign on the lake which indicates that stepping into it is not allowed at any time for safety reasons.
