Location of Incident: 9 Wades Court , Canal Corkran, Rehoboth Beach, Sussex County

Date and Time of Occurrence: Monday June 8, 2009

Victim : Justin J. Lesko, 19, of Gravel Hill Road, Milton, DE

Resume:

Troopers were summoned to 9 Wades Court just outside the town of Rehoboth Beach this morning just before 11 am for the report of an unresponsive male in a pool.

When troopers arrived they found Lesko. He was immediately removed and attempts to revive him proved futile. Lesko was pronounced dead at the seen.

Lesko was employed by First Choice Management, Inc and was there to clean the pool. A neighbor saw him on Sunday, June 7, and became curious when Lesko’s company vehicle was still at the home this morning. The neighbor went to check on him and found Lesko in the pool.

There were no signs of trauma observed and the Medical Examiner’s Office is conducting an autopsy to determine the exact cause and manner of death.
