A man died after he was pulled from the water by divers at Breakheart Reservation in Saugus yesterday.

State police spokesman Sgt. Paul Sullivan said the victim was located an hour after the reported drowning yesterday evening with the assistance of the Beverly Fire Department Dive Team.

Authorities from Saugus, Wakefield and Beverly arrived at the scene after the drowning was reported at the Upper Pond/Silver Lake area at 4:50 p.m., Sullivan said, as did DCR lifeguards and the state police dive team.

The victim was taken out of the water just before 6 p.m. and was transported to the Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, Sullivan said.

Essex County District Attorney spokesman Steve O’Connell said he later died at the hospital.
