April 16, 2026RIP. Body Found in the Water By Shore Road Park in Bay Ridge

It’s very sad to see this news.

A body was floating in the water near the Shore Road bike path (close to the 92nd Street pedestrian overpass) this afternoon around 5:00 pm.
People who were fishing saw the corpse and called the police. They came and removed the body from the water. News:
https://brooklyn.news12.com/body-found-in-water-near-shore-road-park-in-bay-ridge

Helicopters were flying over Bay Ridge this evening.
Brooklynites believe this is a woman who jumped from the Verrazzano Bridge. No news has confirmed this.
Prayers for this person’s family, who is going to receive the bad news.
