"Another body has been pulled from Newtown Creek, a branch of the East River that runs in between Queens and Brooklyn. This is at least the fourth body found in the industrial area over the past few summers. The previous three victims had visited nearby nightclubs before their deaths. Police have not released many details about the latest case, but say the body of a 30-year-old man was found shortly after 12:15 p.m. Thursday in the area between North Henry Street and Kingsland Avenue."
"The summer before, the bodies of 27-year-olds John Castic and Karl Clemente turned up in the creek roughly a month apart. Both men were last seen at the Brooklyn Mirage, another nightclub in the area. The medical examiner's office ruled their deaths were caused by drowning. One was deemed accidental, the other undetermined. At this point, investigators are not linking the latest death to any of the others, and they have not said whether it's considered suspicious."
