Police Investigating After Body Found in Lake Near Rams, Chargers' SoFi Stadium

A 45-year-old man was found dead in a man-made lake outside SoFi Stadium, the home of the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers and Rams, on Wednesday.

TMZ Sports reported the Los Angeles County Fire Department was called to the scene after it received word a man jumped into the water and didn't resurface. Dive teams eventually recovered the body after searching for several hours.

Inglewood Mayor James Butts said surveillance video suggested the individual willingly jumped in the water, per TMZ. An investigation is underway.

"This is someone that made a conscious decision to trespass onto the property, get into the lake and he ended up having some distress and difficulty," Butts said.
