The Livingston community came together Wednesday night for a vigil in honor of two students who drowned during a storm at Ramapo Lake this week.
According to friends and family, the juveniles were identified as Matthew Poole and Isabel Brodsky, both 17-year-old students at Livingston High School.
Officials say on Aug. 7th, State Park Police responded to a report received from the Ringwood Police Department of two possible drownings at Ramapo Lake in Ramapo State Forest around 7 p.m.
Following a search, divers recovered the bodies of the juveniles.
Family says Brodsky was apparently in distress when Matthew jumped in to help but unfortunately they both perished.
