Police recovered the remains of a man at Jamaica Bay in Queens on Friday morning, cops said.
The unidentified partially decomposed remains were recovered along the shoreline by the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit around 7:35 a.m. near Beach Channel Dr. and Beach 100th St. in Arverne.
Skeletal bones were visible as police removed the remains, suggesting the body may have been in the water a long time.
The location the body was found was right behind Rockaway Park High School for Environmental Sustainability.
The individual is currently identified.
The cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner.
A teen swimmer recently vanished off the Rockaways and his body has not yet been found.
Brandon Figueroa, 18, who lived in the Bronx, went to Rockaway Beach with some friends Tuesday to beat the sweltering heat, his devastated mother said in an online fundraiser.
"While enjoying the water, a big wave and a strong riptide pulled Brandon under, and despite the efforts of NYPD, FDNY, and other agencies, his body has not been found," Jeanette Munoz wrote.
"This unimaginable tragedy has left our family heartbroken and lost for words."
Figueroa, who lived in Soundview, was reported missing near Beach 73rd St. around 3:31 p.m.
Tuesday, police said.
