SUFFERN, NY — Suffern Police officers are actively investigating the discovery of a body found in the water at the Suffern Quarry, a location known for its scenic appearance but notorious for its dangers.

Authorities responded to the scene earlier today following a report of a possible body in the quarry’s waters. Police have confirmed the discovery and are currently conducting a full investigation. The identity of the deceased has not yet been released, and officials say more information will be shared once next of kin are notified and the investigation progresses.

The Suffern Quarry, located in Rockland County, has long been a point of concern for first responders due to its steep cliffs, deep waters, and history of trespassing incidents. Despite warning signs and fencing, the area occasionally draws visitors unaware of the risks.

This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as soon as further details are released by the Suffern Police Department.
