SEAT PLEASANT, Md. — Authorities on Friday, Sept. 5, 2025, confirmed the death of a man who disappeared from Seat Pleasant last month, ending weeks of searches led by family and police.

The Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner identified the body recovered Aug. 22 from a lake in Lake Arbor, Maryland as 32-year-old Dakarai Djehuti, according to the Seat Pleasant Police Department. A resident discovered the remains in the water that afternoon.

Djehuti, a father of young children, was last seen Aug. 17 near Martin Luther King Jr. Highway and 69th Place. Relatives said he left home without his phone or wallet, behavior they described as highly unusual. In the days that followed, family members organized daily searches, canvassed neighborhoods and handed out flyers in hopes of finding him.

Police said the investigation remains ongoing but foul play is not suspected, and no suspects are being sought.
