Body Found In Lake Hopatcong – Who Was It and What Happened?
OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 15: In an aerial view, a boat navigates the waters of Lake Oroville on June 15, 2023 in Oroville, California. After several winter storms that brought record snowfall to California's Sierra Nevada mountains, Lake Oroville, California's second largest reservoir, is at 100 percent capacity. The lake has only reached full pool twice in the past 15 years with the most recent time in 2019. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
You never like to hear reports of a missing person. It can be very unsettling. At least for me, I immediately start to think, did something terrible happen? Are they still alive? Are they going to be found?
Well, unfortunately, a missing boater was found in Lake Hopatcong, according to New Jersey State Police. Sadly, he had passed.
Sergeant Philip Curry of the New Jersey State Police said troopers responded to a marina on Lake Hopatcong on Brady Road in Jefferson Township at 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday night. There had been reports of a missing person that led them to show up there.
A boat tied to the dock with the engine running was found when troopers searched. They then found the body of a man submerged just below the water close to the boat. He’s a 76-year-old man who has yet to be publicly identified.
The authorities are currently investigating this matter.
You would hope there was no foul play involved, but really when it comes down to it, even that won’t comfort the man’s family and friends who are left behind. Whether it was a tragic accident or crime that was committed, it’s always sad to hear about these deaths.
Parsippany Rescue and Recovery also assisted in the water search, officials said.
Hearing about these incidents in our own backyard is unsettling, but hopefully, the authorities can figure out what happened, and the community can come together and make efforts to ensure something like this doesn’t happen again.
We’ll update this story when the man’s identity has been released.
Hopefully, we can also give some sort of explanation as to what happened as well. Until then, we wish authorities success in piecing this together and figuring out what happened to this Morris County Sailor.

5 Great Horror Movies, From Gore Hits to Psychological Classics
With Hollywood shut down due to strikes from the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), production of upcoming shows and movies is shut down. This includes festivals, film premieres, press tours, and even the upcoming Emmys in September.
The writer’s strike began at the beginning of May, with the actors guild joining just last week. Both unions share the same reasons for striking. This includes getting paid a living wage to meet basic needs, receiving higher residuals (financial compensation paid out to actors whenever TV shows or movies they’ve appeared in are replayed on streaming and syndication), and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be regulated to protect talent and writers’ jobs from being completely taken over. For the first time in more than 60 years, Hollywood actors and writers are on strike simultaneously, with no signs of ending anytime soon.
The End Is Not Near
SAG-AFTRA’s president Fran Drescher said a vast majority of actors “are just working people just trying to make a living, just trying to pay their rent, just trying to put food on the table and get their kids off to school.” She added that everything that we, as consumers watch, are “filled with people that are not making the big money.” $27.73 per hour is how much the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported as the average pay for California actors in 2022. However, the BLS noted in the data that actors aren’t paid full-time year-round due to the nature of the job.
With no end date in motion, we’ve come up with a series of lists of entertainment to watch until production begins again. Take a look below at our list of five fantastic horror films that will make you a fan of the genre if you’re hesitant. There’s a little something for everybody on this list, with paranormal thrillers that will have you jumping out of your seat to psychological horror films that have you questioning your own sanity.
Mike is all about having fun each afternoon. He brings you concert tickets, some fun trivia, and of course the best bands. Other interests outside of being at WDHA are drums, movies, and my family. Also, like most radio personalities, he loves live music. There's nothing like a live show to hype him up! His all-time favorite band is Metallica. But according to him, the list of others is pretty lengthy.
