A group of teens who recorded and mocked a disabled man as he drowned in Florida last week have been formally charged for their role in his death, authorities said on Friday.

The charges against the five teenagers who recorded and made fun of Jamal Dunn, 31, as he drowned in a pond on July 7, were not detailed in a press conference, News 13 reported.

Cocoa Police Chief Michael Cantaloupe said there's no law requiring people to report to officials that someone is dying.

Police are currently in the process of filing paperwork to the state's attorney's office, Cantaloupe said.

TEENS FILMED, LAUGHED WHILE MAN SLOWLY DROWNED, AUTHORITIES SAY. In the video Dunn could be seen struggling to stay above the water in a Cocoa pond as the teens, who are between the ages of 14 and 16, watched, laughed and mocked him.

Police initially said that the teens were unlikely to face any charges since they weren't directly involved in Dunn's death.
