Body Of Shaniesha Forbes, 14, Identified After Being Discovered On Brooklyn Beach

The body of a young, African-American woman that was found on a beach in Brooklyn over the weekend has been identified. New York City police have confirmed that remains discovered on Sunday next to the remnants of a bofire in Gerritsen Beach are those of Shaniesha Forbes, 14.

Forbes’ naked body was found face-up near the shoreline at 7:15 a.m. on Sunday. Her arms, hands and legs were burned. Medical examiners have ruled out exposure to fire as the cause of the teen’s death, because no smoke was found in her lungs. The cause of her death has not been released, and is still under investigation. At this time, her death has not been ruled a homicide.

“I want someone to please speak up,” Shanah Forbes, the sister of the deceased, said. “She didn’t deserve this.”
