Kensington man found dead, floating in Rockaway Inlet

A 41-year-old Kensington parasailor was found floating in the waters off of Kingsborough Community College’s Marine Center shortly before sundown on Sunday, according to police.

The NYPD’s Harbor unit was called to Rockaway Inlet off of Oriental Boulevard after witnesses there spotted the body floating in the water at 5:06 pm.

There, police boats found Vladislav Cheloudko, 41, unconscious in the water. Paramedics attempted to resuscitate him, to no avail, before rushing the man to Coney Island Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Cheloudko, who lived in an Ocean Parkway apartment in Kensington, died during a parasailing excursion off of Brooklyn’s southern coast, according to an NYPD spokesman.

The man’s exact cause of death remains unknown, pending a Medical Examiner’s report.
