At around 12:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 24, 2013, members of the Jupiter Police Department were called out to the Mallory Creek development in response to a vehicle that may have left the roadway and entered the pond.

The Jupiter Police dive team responded to the scene to search the waterway in which time they located the 2001 black Cadillac.

The cause of death for Phillips has been classified as a drowning. A toxicology report is not yet available and may take several weeks to get results.

According to the medical examiner, there are no indications of foul play associated with Phillips’ death.
