Parks Department workers cleaning debris off a Queens beach today discovered a man’s body buried in the sand, police sources said.
The decomposed corpse was found in dunes along the shoreline by Beach 13th Street in Far Rockaway at around 8:30 a.m., sources added.
A garbage bag was near the body, sources said and investigators do not believe the death is storm related.
Workers were cleaning trash and seaweed that had washed ashore during Hurricane Sandy when they made the grisly find.
The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
