A 19-year-old man who drowned in lake outside SoFi Stadium was attending concert: Police

A 19-year-old man drowned in the lake outside SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles in Inglewood, California on Friday Feb. 2, authorities said.

The man, who authorities did not name, died during a sold-out dance music concert by musician and DJ Illenium.

In a press release, the Inglewood Police Department said security workers at the concert saw a man enter the lake at around 9:30 p.m. and as he continued to swim "he went underwater and did not resurface."

Emergency crews began a search and rescue operation.

Divers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and a lifeguard team from the L.A. County Fire Department searched for the man with the help of a helicopter and drone, Inglewood police said.

Authorities said they recovered the man's body from the lake shortly before 11 p.m. and attempted to resuscitate him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Our hearts go out to the family and friends affected by this devastating incident,” police said in the press release.

Second reported drowning in lake outside SoFi Stadium

This isn't the first time someone drowned in the lake in front of the stadium. Deadline reported that this is the second incident to happen in the six-acre artificial lake in two years.

An unidentified man died after wading into the lake in July 2022.

SoFi Stadium did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment but told the Los Angeles Times: “It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of an individual last evening. Our deepest condolences go out to the individual’s family and friends for their loss. Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.”
