Several police agencies are searching a pond in Enfield in connection to the recent death of a man whose body was found in the gazebo of the town green.
A pedestrian who was walking near the town green saw a man's body in the gazebo and officers determined the man died in an apparent homicide, police said. The man has been identified as 55-year-old Christopher Kennedy.
Enfield police, public works officials and Connecticut State Police Emergency Services responded to Freshwater Pond Thursday in relation to a homicide that happened in August.
Authorities said the pond has been temporarily drawn down to a level where divers can search the pond bed with metal detectors.
