A 15-year-old girl was found floating lifelessly in the waters of New York Harbor off the coast of Brooklyn on Sunday.
Police discovered the teen’s body adrift in the water off Sunset Park’s Bush Terminal Piers Park just before 8 a.m. on Aug. 25, and pronounced her dead at the location.
The NYPD identified the girl as Nancy Zheng, 15, of Sunset Park; she lived just a few blocks away from where she was found dead.
Police did not immediately share details about the cause of death, including how she may have come to be in the water or if she had died before or after ending up in the water.
Zheng’s body was transferred to the Medical Examiner’s office for an autopsy. The investigation remains ongoing.
