A body found floating in a New York City creek has been identified as missing Goldman Sachs staffer John Castic, his father told Fox News Digital.
How did John Castic die?
Castic, 27, was last seen Saturday about 2:30 a.m. leaving a Zeds Dead concert at The Brooklyn Mirage in the East Williamsburg neighborhood.
“They have found his body and confirmed it’s him,” his father, Jeffrey Castic, told Fox News Digital. “It appears to have been death by misadventure. His wallet and phone were found on him.”
NYPD detectives called the family a little after 2 p.m. Tuesday to deliver the news.
At 11:09 on Tuesday morning, a bystander noticed Castic’s body floating in English Kills, a part of Newtown Creek, and contacted 911, according to police.
As soon as they came, NYPD Harbour units plucked Castic from the sea.
The DePaul University alumnus had spent nearly a year working for Goldman Sachs as a senior analyst.
According to a statement from the police, the city medical examiner will conduct an autopsy to ascertain Castic’s cause of death. The inquiry is still ongoing.
Karl Clemente, a 27-year-old psychologist, also went missing from the same concert venue on June 11 and was found dead in Newtown Creek five days later.
