Harlem Meer is a lake located near the Boathouse in Central Park
Last year a man's body was found floating in the same exact location last year when a Harlem resident who went fishing in the Central Park lake hooked a human corpse in September 2020.
At around 11 am on September 24, 2020, Luis Castoire, 24, cast his line into Harlem Meer, which is a lake located on the northeast corner of Central Park near the corner of Fifth Avenue and 110th Street.
'I hooked up on something,' Castoire told DailyMail.com on Thursday.
'I was fishing in the Harlem Meer and my second cast I hook something [and] then lifted the line.'
'I had seen the body in the water then I call 911.'
