When police and firefighters arrived at the park, they found the son's belongings, then began a search for the father. The man was found in Island Creek Pond and brought to shore, according to the district attorney's office.
He was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth, where he was pronounced dead. Prosecutors identified him as Scott Callahan, 57.
Callahan was expected to be arraigned on the charges he faces in Plymouth District Court Monday, but that was pushed to Tuesday. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak to the charges.
The incident remains under investigation.
