The body of a man was pulled from a pond, located at 2821 Lakeside Commons Drive, Wednesday night.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, 67-year-old Van Murray apparently drowned after trying to retrieve a remote control boat that had stalled in the water.

He entered the water and shortly thereafter, he went under, deputies said. A passerby called and Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office dive team responded and located the body.
