MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — A 33-year-old man was found dead after his Tesla was discovered submerged in a Bucks County lake last week, according to authorities.
The body of Wen H Chen, a 33-year-old Princeton, N.J. man, was pulled from the car that was submerged in Lake Luxembourg at Core Creek Park on Thursday, Bucks County Coroner Patti Campi told Patch.
Authorities were alerted to the situation by a kayaker, who called 911 to report that a Tesla was in the lake several hundred feet from the boat ramp area off Tollgate and Fulling Mill roads.

"It was kind of odd," Campi said. "A rowing coach reported a vehicle submerged with its windows up."
Campi said that an autopsy was performed on Chen, but the results are pending for the cause of death.
