A man was fished out of the water of a Central Park lake and pronounced dead Thursday morning, cops said.

The man, whose identity wasn’t immediately known, was pulled out of the Harlem Meer at around 11 a.m. It was unclear how he ended up in the water.

The lake is at the northeast corner of Central Park, just west of Fifth Avenue and south of 110th Street.

The city’s medical examiner’s office will determine the cause of death, cops said.
