Man Who Drowned In Princeton Lake Identified: Police

PRINCETON, NJ — The man who drowned in Lake Carnegie in Princeton on Friday has been identified. Talven Page, 23, of Trenton, jumped into the lake off of the dock near the boat launch and disappeared after swimming for a few moments shortly before 3 p.m. on Aug. 10, police said on Monday.

Page was a security guard, according to his Facebook page. The Mississippi native had been planning a trip to Miami, according to his page. Police didn't provide any other new information about the incident.

Three officers arrived at the lake about three minutes after receiving the 911 call, and searched the area where the man was last seen.

Two police officers entered into the water and searched the area where Page’s friend reported seeing him enter the water, police said. The officers saw bubbles come to the surface as the third officer probed the area with a pole from the dock. One of the officers went underwater, found Page, grabbed him by the arm and pulled him to the surface.

All three officers and Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad members then put him on the dock and immediately began CPR at 3:03 p.m. He was then taken to a local hospital, where despite the efforts of all involved at the scene and the efforts of the medical staff, the victim was pronounced deceased at 3:54 p.m.

Princeton police are investigating the incident.
