A 27-year-old Manhattan man was found dead in Newtown Creek on Tuesday morning in Brooklyn, less than a week after he went missing from an EDM concert at a nightclub Friday night.
Castic was a senior analyst at Goldman Sachs who recently moved to New York City a few years ago from Chicago, according to his close friend Sara Kostecka, who posted about her friend’s disappearance on social media and spoke withThe New York Postafter his remains were found this week.
“He is very charismatic, high-energy with a good sense of humor,” Kostecka, 25, toldThe Post. “Whatever happened, he did not deserve this.” She added that Castic was an “amazing person” and that him leaving the concert Friday night and not making it home, only to be later discovered in the creek, is “atypical behavior” according to the man she knew, calling him a “very responsible individual.”
Castic is the second 27-year-old man to be found dead in the Newtown Creek after visiting the Brooklyn Mirage venue, a nightclub located in the Bushwick neighborhood. Karl Clemente, a 27-year-old from Queens, was found dead in the creek on June 16 after leaving a concert at the same venue alone, according to NBC. The creek is located less than half a mile from the venue, according to theThe Post.
