Thein, who worked at Suny Downstate Medical Center only two blocks away, was reportedly found wrapped up in a white sheet after she did not turn up for her shift at the Hospital on Wednesday.
Police at this time are keeping a tight lid on the Investigation and have not yet released any information on a possible suspect or suspects, although co workers of the deceased at the scene Saturday said that a younger Nurse in her twenties, who was staying with Thein, has also not been seen and appears to be missing.
Officers from the NYPD Marine Unit were called to the Gowanus Canal near Nevins Street in Brooklyn on Tuesday, after the body of a man was spotted floating in the waterway.
The body, which was in a bad state of decomposition, was not lifted aboard the police boat, but rather ‘towed’ to Pier 5 at the Brooklyn Bridge Park, where Detectives and the Medical Examiner conducted their preliminary investigation before the body was removed from the pier.
Photos taken of the activity at Pier 5 shows the deceased with something resembling duct tape wrapped around the facial area. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death. The NYPD says its’ Investigation is ongoing.
