A New York family kicked off the summer season with a horrifying discovery when they opened their backyard pool and found a dead body found floating in the water.

The disturbing find occurred on Sunday afternoon ahead of the Memorial Day holiday in the Long Island neighborhood of East Shoreham, New York, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.

The residents of the home couldn't immediately be reached for comment when contacted by DailyMail.com. 

The department's homicide squad is now investigating the body's identity and cause of death, including the possibility that the corpse belongs to a murder suspect who had been on the run.

The suspect was Matthew Zoll, 23, who disappeared in November after allegedly killing his father.

Matthew was accused of stabbing his father, Joseph, 61, in their Rocky Point home, which is about five miles from East Shoreham.

Police said at the time Matthew fled the scene of the crime in a black GMC Yukon and ran away after crashing the car.

The East Shoreham home is about a half-mile from where police believe Matthew crashed his car and fled on foot.

Dood soup... I ain't the one gonna clean out that pool pump... Jussayin. 

It's pretty hard to burn down a pool... but that's what needs to happen.

He, or what remains of him, must be in some rough shape.

Looks like he was running from police, crawled under the tarp to hide.
He chose poorly.

But I agree. All the plumbing and pumps will have to be replace. Full overhaul with a steam wash.
And even after all that, then they have to deal with is ghost messing with them.

I dunno if I ever told y'all... I got elected to go down in an irrigation well and help haul out a dead cow... She'd been in there a long,long time, and even with the freezing cold water, she'd already swelled up and popped, and turned into cow soup, with all kinds of chunkitys floating around... It took days and days to rip off chunks and throw em in a basket, hauled up overhead. I had a wet suit on, and the thin film of water under the suit made me smell like dead cow for about 2 months...

That was the single most awful work I ever did.

Not the best, but at least the water has been fairly cold for a while.
