Body found floating in pool of Weston home

On October 16, 2026, emergency personnel responded to a home in Weston after a body was found floating in a backyard swimming pool. Regional coverage, including reports cited by the Sun Sentinel and CBS News, identified the deceased as Venezuelan singer and composer Gus Ormo, who was discovered unresponsive in the pool behind the residence.

Investigators arrived at the musician’s Weston home to examine the perimeter and pool area. As reported by the Miami Herald, deputies from the Broward Sheriff's Office uncovered additional evidence during their initial inspection of the water, specifically locating a rope in the pool alongside the body. The discovery immediately led authorities to reassess the circumstances surrounding the incident rather than treating it solely as an accidental event.

The Broward Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the incident as a suspicious drowning. As detectives continue their inquiry into how the Venezuelan artist died, official statements from BSO confirm the investigation is active. Authorities have not shared details regarding an autopsy, motives, or potential suspects in the case, leaving the inquiry centered on the findings recovered from the residential pool.
