The Putnam County Sheriff's Office confirmed Sunday that a body was found in the Croton Falls Reservoir.

There was a large police presence at the end of Daisy Lane, where the road meets Lower Mine Road near the reservoir just after 6 p.m.

Authorities told News 12 just before 6 p.m. that the body was recovered from the reservoir.

Authorities had not confirmed the specifics about the body as of Sunday night.

A church group from Connecticut was also at the scene to see if the discovery may have been connected to a missing man that they’ve been searching for. It was not clear as of Sunday night if there was a connection or not.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Office said more information is expected to be released on Monday.
