Police were investigating the death of a man whose body was found decomposed inside the College Point Yacht Club grounds.
At about 4:06 p.m. Saturday, police responded to a call of an unconscious individual in the vicinity of Powell’s Cove Boulevard and Weatherly Place, according to the police.
When they arrived, officers discovered an unconscious and unresponsive man lying face down in a rocky area near the water, police said.
EMS responded and pronounced the victim dead on arrival at the scene, officials said.
A police spokesman said the NYPD has a tentative name because the body was so badly decomposed and cannot release it yet.
An individual at the College Point Yacht Club said he was not at the club when the body was found.
“I really don’t know what happened,” he said. “They just told me police came in and took a body out.”
Police could not confirm that the body was found in the yacht club.
The Police Department will have more information once they determine the individual’s identity, the spokesman said.
Officials said the medical examiner’s office will determine the cause of death.
No arrests have been made and the investigation was ongoing, the spokesman said.
