A 19-year-old man has died after being struck by lightning in Vista View Park in Davie, police said.

The incident occurred Sunday morning when Davie police officers responded to a 911 call reporting a person down, potentially due to a lightning strike.

Upon arrival, officers discovered the victim, identified as Ethan Lawrence from Broward County, dead at the park. Police got the call around 10:24 a.m.

That was right in the middle of a burst of more than 800 lightning strikes reported in Broward County in under 30 minutes, according to WSVN News.

The Broward County Medical Examiner's Office is assisting with the ongoing investigation.
