The medical examiner has determined that two people found in Newtown Creek about two months apart both died from drowning.
The medical examiner said that Karl Clemente's death was an accident, but John Castic's death remains undetermined. The OCME confirmed that after reviewing all available evidence they could not confirm how Clemente came to be in the body of water.
Both bodies were found days after both Clemente and Castic were last seen leaving a concert at a nearby club called the Brooklyn Mirage.
