BREAKING: Police find body in pond near Tysons Galleria

A body has been found in a small pond near Tysons Galleria.

While an identification hasn’t been publicly confirmed yet, pending notification of the next of kin, police have spent more than three days searching for a Gainesville man who was reported missing after a crash on Friday (June 6).

The Fairfax County Police Department is now conducting a death investigation.

Police responded to a single-vehicle crash near Westpark Drive and Tysons Blvd around 11:30 p.m. on Friday.

The following day, the driver, Kyle Benjamin Cole, 19, was reported missing to the Prince William County Police Department by his family, prompting a multi-day search that involved police from both jurisdictions.

“In the last 3 days we deployed our detectives, officers, drones, Fairfax1, RTCC, Forensics, K9, and Search & Rescue teams,” the FCPD said earlier this afternoon.

Two lanes on Westpark Drive remain closed as police finish recovering the body.
