A 19-year-old man drowned in the lake outside SoFi Stadium during a sold-out dance music concert, authorities said Saturday.
The man was observed at 9:27 p.m. entering the lake, and Inglewood police officers assigned to work the show by musician and DJ Illenium also saw him swimming, according to an Inglewood Police Department news release.
The man was seen going underwater and he did not resurface, prompting an immediate search and rescue operation involving divers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and county fire lifeguards with helicopter and drone support, police said.
The man's body was recovered from the lake just before 11 p.m. and attempts were made to resuscitate him to no avail, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
