New Hampshire State Police were notified of a missing person at Pool Pond in Ridge, New Hampshire at 3pm on June 11.

State police reported that earlier that day, the victim’s dog was found swimming in the water with no one around.

The dog was brought to shore and a family member tried contacting its owner, Benjamin Dabuliewicz.

The family member called for help when they couldn’t get a hold of Dabuliewicz.

The man’s personal belongings were found on a nearby beach, the police department said.

Multiple agencies responded to the missing person report, including state police, New Hampshire Fish and Game, and other local authorities.

After an hours-long search, Dabuliewicz’s body was recovered from the water.

He was pronounced dead around 5.30pm.

Dabuliewicz was from Warner. His death remains under investigation, local media reported.

An obituary for Dabuliewicz described him as someone who loved the outdoors and brought joy and energy into the lives of his family.

“Ben was going to be married in a few months and was so looking forward to a wonderful future and life full of happiness with his fiancé, Amy Mitchell and step son Joey,” the obituary said.

“Their plans included growing their family and spending their life in Warner and at the family camp. He will be so missed.”
