The body was discovered in the lake Friday morning.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The body of a 63-year-old North Adams man was found in Windsor Lake.
 
Police say the body of Leszek Godyn of Arnold Place was discovered at 8 a.m. Friday morning.
 
The incident remains under investigation but the district attorney's office says it "does not appear to be suspicious at this time."
 
Police Director Michael Cozzaglio confirmed that police received a report at 7:48 a.m. from someone who said they saw a body lying in the water.
 
Police, EMS, and fire responded to the lake, where Godyn's body was found in the shallow water at the fishing area near the concession stand. Firefighters were able to remove him from the water.
 
"We're trying to determine what brought this person up to the lake and what happened," Cozzaglio said, adding again that it did not appear suspicious. 
 
The investigation is being conducted by members of the North Adams Police Department, state police, and the district attorney's office. 
 
The entrance of the lake was blocked Friday morning for more than an hour during the recovery.
