Man Identified Who Drowned In Quiogue

authorErin McKinley on Aug 8, 2012

Police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found in a backyard pool in Quiogue early Sunday morning, Southampton Town Police said.

Efrain Suruy, a resident of Westhampton Beach described as being in his mid 20s, died in the swimming pool on Montauk Highway on August 5. According to police, they responded to the residence at approximately 6 a.m. after Mr. Suruy’s body was discovered in the pool. It is believed that he drowned.

A press release sent out by Detective Sergeant Lisa Costa on Tuesday, notes that detectives are “still investigating the drowning and still awaiting the medical examiner’s results to confirm any contributing factors to his death.”

Upon arrival at the scene, responding officers and members of the Westhampton War Memorial Ambulance corps declared Mr. Suruy dead. Southampton Town Police detectives and members of the Suffolk County medical examiner’s office responded to the scene.

It is unclear if Mr. Suruy knew the residents of the Quiogue home where the pool was located. The investigation is ongoing.

Southampton Lifts Term Limits for Regulatory Board Appointments, Shortens Terms

The Southampton Town Board last week approved removing term limits for members of the town’s Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals, but at the same time cut the terms for members from seven years to four years. The board had only extended the terms for members of the two quasi-judicial regulatory boards from four to seven years in 2022 — to match state Town Law guidelines that say member terms should be equal to the number of members on a board. The town imposed a limit of two terms on members. At the time, appointments were also staggered with ... by Michael Wright
