I’m not commenting on the article or your comment.
Rather, I LOVE your screen name. I haven’t heard it since “bubbe” passed away.

This reporting seems insensitive. How heartbreaking to find out this young man was missing and now dead all in one post. What a tragedy for his family and friends.

Really? Insensitive? This site provides news to the community and asks for nothing in return from it’s followers. Give them a break.

It’s just a terrible tragedy. Our neighbor…and a suffering family. All of you stop commenting on the “reporting” and embrace and comfort this mans family and loved ones. Send your love…it’s all that’s needed right now. They need us very very much right now!

I hope that the police have connected this to a similar case of last December. Another UWS young man disappeared in he same area and was also found in the Hudson. I believe there might be others from before. This is horrible if there is some pattern and no one is working on this.

As a friend of the Healey family devastation is the only way to describe this loss for them. I knew Timmy well and he was such a great young man. This is so sad.
My prayers go out to his mother, father & brother.
RIP Patrick
