Update/Correction: Cops Find Second Dead Body In Area Parks Within Two Weeks
On Sunday, cops located the body of a man who was reported missing two days before the discovery.
68-year-old Moses King was found dead on Sunday, November 13 at approximately 1:45pm in Mount Prospect Park just behind Brooklyn Public Library. His wife reported King missing on Friday, November 11.
When police and EMS arrived, the man was unconscious and unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Cops say there were no obvious signs of trauma.
His wife told police he left their nearby home at 304 St. John’s Place (near Underhill Avenue) on Friday to go to the library and did not return.
King suffered from a heart condition and wore a pacemaker.
Although police do not suspect foul play, the Medical Examiner has not yet confirmed the cause of death.
On Wednesday, November 2, cops found 19-year-old Geordian Childs floating in Prospect Park Lake. The teen was found fully clothed without any obvious signs of trauma. We have contacted the medical examiner to confirm cause of death, but have not yet heard back at this point.
Update/Correction, November 14, 3:45pm: The article mistakenly referenced Mount Prospect Park as a part of Prospect Park. It is considered as separate from Prospect Park. You can view more history about Mount Prospect Park here. This error has since been corrected.
