A deceased man found inside a boat docked at the Newtown Creek Marina has now been affirmatively identified, according to New York Post.
The body of a 52-year-old man was discovered on Sunday, July 6. Sources confirmed to New York Post that the man was DJ Reda Briki, a popular DJ and music producer. Briki was discovered weeks after he was last spotted DJing in Harlem, leaving loved ones to mount a search.
“The electronic dance music producer, who co-founded Love that Fever, was pronounced dead at the scene, though friends – who launched an exhaustive search after he was last seen on June 14 – believe he died weeks ago,” the outlet reports. Briki’s body was discovered badly decomposed.
Authorities have not yet determined the cause of death, though they said that they do not suspect foul play.
There is no marina on the newtown creek! All the boats are inhibited by hipster squatters living on non-running boats they buy or get free on fb and Craigslist . They live amongst the rats , on a polluted waterway with no fresh water or electricity! They direct flush human waste into the creek against WOA AND COAST GUARD REGULATIONS!!
Cool
Thanks Michael, very helpful info!
The city dumps a billion gallons of untreated sewage into the Newtown Creek alone every year… let’s focus on the big picture. Also not every recreational vessel docked currently in Newtown Creek is a squatter, there are a few boats there that have an official arrangement with the property owner.
Michael, you’re way off. Born and raised in Brooklyn, and yes, Newtown Creek does have a marina. It’s called Google. Use it before coming on here spreading nonsense, especially under a post about someone’s passing. Talk less, especially when you’re not from here.
No, he is 100% correct there is no “marina”, as in an official operation that formally rents dock space to the boating public… that does not currently exist. Boats docked there are doing so without permission or with individual arrangements with the property owner
Hey “Actually from Brooklyn” … maybe you should be more careful about spreading nonsense. I live three blocks from this creek, and know there’s no official “marina.” But, used Google as you sarcastically suggested, came up with the following thank to good ‘ol AI. Go ahead, next tell me that I shouldn’t believe everything Google says … LOL: “There isn’t a dedicated marina on Newtown Creek in Brooklyn. However, the area along Newtown Creek, particularly in Greenpoint, does have a number of boats docked, some of which are inhabited by individuals who live on the vessels. The Newtown Creek is a heavily industrialized waterway bordering Brooklyn and Queens, known for its industrial history and ongoing cleanup efforts as a Superfund site. ” — Now, THAT is all true, sadly enough. Speaking from PERSONAL experience, not sure what you’re doing, or if you even live around here with your stupid comments … : /
I’m on a mooring with all amenities and the waste disposal a LECTRASAN is Coast Guard Certified. While the majority is in the pool you make, your conclusion are too harsh. I met the guy when first came in. The boat was nice and in fine order.
