Police said a maintenance worker from a nearby condominium complex, Weatherstone Condos, found the deceased body of a male believed to be 19-year-old Nathan Alan Tracy.
The body was found in a retention pond located near the entrance of the Weatherstone complex, according to a release from the Pittsfield Township Department of Public Safety.

Family members who had not heard from Tracy since prior to the crash reported him missing.
Police said an autopsy of the body is scheduled to take place within the next day. Methods to positively identify the deceased are ongoing.
