Body of Man, 83, Is Found in Pool
The body of an 83-year-old Camarillo man was found floating face-down in a pool Saturday at the Camarillo Springs Mobile Home Park, authorities said.
Shalto Frye was pronounced dead at 12:53 p.m., said Ventura County Senior Deputy Coroner Craig Stevens.
Authorities will try to determine in an autopsy today whether Frye drowned in the pool at the senior park on the north side of the Conejo Grade orekc died of natural causes and somehow wound up in the pool, Stevens said.
According to sheriff’s deputies, Frye ran his car into a brick wall near the pool about 10:15 a.m. Saturday. The incident was apparently minor, because witnesses told authorities that Frye got out of his car and waved to them and said he was OK.
Frye was found in the pool about 90 minutes later, Stevens said.
“He has no real medical history, and we’re not sure whether he died of any number of natural occurrences and, unfortunately, ended up in the pool, or if he drowned,” Stevens said.
