Man found dead in Kent lake identified

King County medical examiners have identified the man found dead Friday in a Kent lake.

Rashpal Singh, 63, of Kent was found dead in Clark Lake about 4:30 p.m. Friday, according to the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority.

Paramedics’ attempts to revive Singh were unsuccessful, Capt. Kyle Ohashi said in a news release.

Clark Lake is a small body of water with a park, trail and dock in the 12700 block of Southeast 240th Street.

An autopsy of Singh has not yet been completed, according to medical examiners. Kent police are conducting an investigation and are not ruling out suicide, spokesman Jarod Kasner said Sunday via email.
