On May 10, 2018 Washington was fishing with his friends and fell into Sylvan Lake in Burlington Township at 4:49 p.m.  He never came back up.

Emergency personnel and police dived into the lake but couldn't retrieve him. Around 7:46 p.m., his body was recovered from the water by state police. 

His mother, Decontee, has been part of the CareOne family, working at Harmony Village at Stanwick Road since 2016. She will need assistance with funeral expenses and will likely miss work due to this tragic event. Any help that you can give will be greatly appreciated!!
