New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin's office confirmed Wednesday night, Aug. 30, that members of the U.S. Marshals New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force and "additional local law enforcement agencies" were involved in the death of a man at the park on Tuesday.
Attempts were made to revive the man, who the attorney general said was pronounced dead at 3:49 p.m. at nearby University Hospital.
Platkin didn't identify the man. He also didn't whether or not he was a civilian or how he ended up dead.
State law and his own guidelines require Platkin to review deaths that occur “during an encounter with a law enforcement officer acting in the officer’s official capacity or while the decedent is in custody," no matter what the circumstances are.
