Grace Ilogene was spotted floating in the fast-moving river just before 12:27 p.m. Friday, about a week after she was swept away by the current after telling a friend she was going for a dip — even though she couldn’t swim, police and sources said.
Ilogene was brought by the NYPD’s Harbor Unit to Erie Basin in Brooklyn, where she was pronounced dead, cops said.
The girl lived with her mother, a neighbor on the Upper East Side told The Post, calling them “very close.”
“They were very quiet. It’s sad,” Edward Davis said, referring to Ilogene’s death.
“The mother never spoke, and the girl was always on her phone, listening to her headphones. She was always working with her mom, she didn’t have much friends. It’s very sad. She was very young, and not much experience in life,” said another neighbor, who declined to give her name.
“This is an awful thing to happen to a family,” she added.
The missing teen, who had been wearing a floral bathing suit, disappeared around 12:15 p.m. on May 30, sources previously told The Post.
Even though her friend warned her to “get out of the water, you know you can’t swim,” the current had already carried her away, the sources said.
The desperate friend called 911, prompting a days-long search.
Her body was one of three discovered floating in the East River Friday, according to cops.
Police responded to a 911 call about an unconscious man in the water just after 6 a.m. near the Brooklyn Bridge, cops said. The man, who had yet to be identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The body of another man, who had also yet to be identified, was spotted by a 911 caller floating in the water near 34th Street and FDR Drive just before 7 p.m. He was taken to Pier 16 and pronounced dead, police said. 84
All three incidents remain under investigation while the Medical Examiner’s Office works to determine each victim’s cause of death, cops said.
