NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A man died Friday after he was pulled from the Fountain of the Planets at Flushing Meadows Park in Queens, police said.

The 37-year-old man entered the water around 10 a.m. When he didn’t come out, someone called 911.

FDNY divers removed him from the water, and he was rushed in critical condition to a hospital, where he died. He hasn't been identified.

No criminality is currently suspected, according to police, who believe it's a case of an emotionally disturbed person wading into the water.

The Fountain of the Planets was built for the New York World’s Fair in 1964.
