Police have said the body of a Goldman Sachs analyst, who went missing after a concert at the Brooklyn Mirage in New York, was recovered from the waters of Newtown Creek on Tuesday.

The creek is located even less than a mile from the place where he went missing.

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 as reported by New York Post.

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 American newspaper reported

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 told the newspaper.

Meanwhile, his father also confirmed that the body of his son has been retrieved.

"They have found his body and confirmed it's him," his shattered father, Jeffrey Castic, told Fox News Digital. "It appears to have been death by misadventure. His wallet and phone were found on him."

Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon said Castic was a “dedicated, driven member” of the investment bank’s controllers team.

“We are all shocked and saddened to learn of John’s tragic passing,” Solomon said in a statement as quoted by New York Post. “Our thoughts are with his mother Dawn, his father Jeff, and his entire family at this very difficult time. John will be deeply missed by his Goldman Sachs family.”
