Man’s body found off Long Island two weeks after he apparently fell off boat
The body of a Queens man has been recovered off the coast of Long Island — two weeks after police said he apparently fell overboard while working on a boat.
Pierre Morris, 45, from Far Rockaway, was found dead off of Smith Point County Park in Shirley around 11:40 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.
Investigators said Morris, an employee of H&L Contracting in Hauppauge, vanished Nov. 18 while doing work on a boat at the Smith Point Marina in Shirley.
A co-worker reported Morris missing after 3 p.m. the same day.
It is believed Morris’ death was the result of a fall into the water.
There was no immediate response to a Thursday request for comment from Pierre’s employer.
