She added that John Castic was a “very responsible individual” and would not just disappear like that.

Even Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon described Castic as a “dedicated, driven member.” After his body was retrieved, a company statement was made by Solomon:

Authorities are currently investigating the matter, as this marks the second time that a man vanished near The Brooklyn Mirage, only to be found dead in the creek. Previously, Karl Clemente was found floating in the water on June 11.
