Jose Barrera, 32, of New York City on Monday drowned in a swimming pool at an East Patchogue home, according to a Suffolk County Police report.
Barrera was visiting friends when he entered the in-ground pool at 1:04 p.m. According to the report, Barrera, who did not know how to swim, was found by his wife 15 minutes later in the eight foot deep section of the pool.
Barrera was taken by South Country Ambulance to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 1:52 p.m.
Suffolk County Police Detective Sgt. Robert Doyle said that it is believed to only be a drowning and that a medical examiner would be needed to determine the exact cause of death. Doyle said that intoxication did not appear to be a factor.
Doyle described the pool as being 18 feet by 36 feet.
