They said that the body had been cut open from the top of the chest down to the bottom of the stomach area. To me, this sounds like a situation where someone may have been bringing drugs into the states and it ended badly or a brutal murder for some other unknown reason.

Either way, this person did not die a pleasant death. It’s a very sad story and I think that ultimately, the reason that it was posted, is because at the end of the day, LIC is a growing community and people want to be informed and are concerned about what is going on.

I don’t know the person who is in charge of this blog, but I am sure that their intentions are to inform community member and not be offensive or insensitive. However, you cannot please every one all of the time.

Thanks to LIQCITY for your blog and information.

Of course, it may be part of an elaborate ad campaign a la the ATHF campaign in Boston that cause da huge terror scare a couple years ago.

Need more tea…real tea, not the fake “tea” being dumped into rivers across Uh-muh-ruk-ha, like those White Power members of the Astroturf movement being sold by Fox News and the RNC as an actual grassroots movement. Too funny! But I digress.

Why has there been an apparent media blackout about this incident? I failed to find out any information online. Please advise if anyone has any information on this poor, unfortunate, deceased person who washed up on our shores. Awfully odd for this to have not made “the press” by now, even if they were unable to contact the next of kin.

The NYPD has an official SCUBA squad of about 20 divers, and at least half are on duty at any given time. Half of the dead bodies found in NYC’s waterways are in April and May. The average number of bodies found in the rivers each year is 20, although 1984 was a particularly unpleasant one for the SCUBA squad; they found 92 bodies in various rivers. The East River and the Harlem River are the most popular for dumping bodies.

Very odd not to find much else about this elsewhere. Bodies turning up in the East River are not as common as they used to be.

You might consider aiming your initial question right back at yourself.

And, no, I am not a Yuppie, nor do I live in a condo building. I could give a flying fig what anyone has to say about condo buildings.
