Suicide off 69th Street Pier in Bay Ridge
Update: Luis Candell, the 54 year old driver and the Rav 4 have been recovered. God rest his soul. His body was found three days after he drove off the pier. A 50 year old woman had filed a missing person report for Candall prior to the suicide (*prayers for her*). Story here
A man in a black 2010 Rav 4 (previously thought to be a Mercedes), drove off the 69th Street Pier at 1:00 am this morning. A resident who was fishing on the pier said that the car swerved around all the obstacles and went into the water. He called the police and reported what he had seen. The Brooklyn Reporter stated that the car drifted towards the Verrazzano Bridge. (See here) Neither the man or the car have been seen or recovered.
The car and driver were found today – 3 days later – 11/9. See more here and here
