Missing Goldman Sachs Analyst Confirmed Dead by Police

A body found in Brooklyn’s Newtown Creek was identified as a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analyst who went missing over the weekend, the New York Police Department said.

John Castic, 27, was found floating face down in the creek just after 11 a.m. Tuesday, and he was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the police.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is investigating the cause of death, the NYPD said in an emailed statement.

“We are all shocked and saddened to learn of John’s tragic passing,” Goldman Chief Executive Officer David Solomon said in a statement. “John was a dedicated, driven member of our controllers team working closely with our asset- and wealth-management business. 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.”

Castic was last seen Saturday around 3 a.m. after attending a concert at Brooklyn Mirage, a popular nightclub in East Williamsburg, an NYPD spokesperson said. Canadian electronic-music duo Zeds Dead played a show at the club Friday night.
