(New York Post) The body of a Goldman Sachs analyst who vanished after a concert at the Brooklyn Mirage was pulled from the waters of Newtown Creek on Tuesday less than half a mile from where he went missing, police said.
John Castic, a 27-year-old Illinois native who lived in Lower Manhattan, disappeared after leaving the Bushwick hotspot at about 3 a.m. Saturday, according to the NYPD.
At about 11 a.m. Tuesday, a man spotted a bloated, shirtless body floating face-down in the English Kills, a branch of the East River tributary, near 1100 Grand St.

The man called the cops, who sent the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit to recover the body, which was later identified as Castic, cops and sources said.The body had no obvious signs of trauma, apart from drowning, police sources said.
Castic was remembered Tuesday as an “amazing person” by his close friend, Sara Kostecka of Chicago.
“He is very charismatic, high-energy with a good sense of humor,” Kostecka, 25, told The Post. “Whatever happened, he did not deserve this.”
