The body of a young male — possibly the teenager feared dead after he was swept away by a riptide — was discovered in the Rockaways on Tuesday morning, police sources said.
The corpse of a male fitting the description of 17-year-old Lamine Sarr washed up along the shore near Beach 98th Street around 11:30 a.m., wearing black shorts and blue boxer shorts, law enforcement sources said.
The teen was pulled out to sea by a riptide while he was swimming with two friends near his home on Beach 86th Street — less than half a mile away — at 5 p.m. Saturday.
The NYPD has not yet confirmed that the body belongs to Starr, pending positive identification by the family.
The city medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
