The body of missing fashionista James “Jay” Ott was found in New York Harbor Friday morning, cops said.
Ott, 31, had been missing since March 22, when he was last seen at his apartment in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, apartment on McKibbin Street, according to police.
Cops say Ott’s body was discovered just after 11 a.m. off Pier 4 near Second Avenue and 58th Street in Sunset Park.
Ott worked as a fashion designer for the Dock Group in Chelsea, and had worked on luxurious labels by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and J. Mendel.
Friends and co-workers plastered posters in subway stations throughout the city in hopes of locating him during the month-and-a-half-long search.
Ott’s father, Robert, who took part in the search, declined to comment Friday night.
But friends on the Facebook page “Find Jay Ott” shared memories.
“I will never forget you and your brilliant smile. May you rest peacefully, Beloved Jay, in the powerful arms of our Lord,” she wrote.
