Law enforcement officials arrived at the home and discovered Louis Menduni Jr. in the pond. He was removed from the body of water and pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives state it appears Menduni Jr. was mowing the grass around the pond when he slid backwards into the water. The case remains under investigation by the sheriff’s office.

The Kendrick-Drake feud shows how technology is changing rap battles
It seems we’re all in agreement: Kendrick Lamar defeated Drake in one of the most engrossing rap battles of the decade. To add insult to injury, Drake also threw himself into legal hot water when he deepfaked the late rapper Tupac.
