The man whose body was found floating in the Hudson River Monday has been identified as a mathematician working with cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, according to police sources and his "devastated" family.
Sources identified the remains found off West 45th Street and 12th Avenue in Manhattan as Shuvro Biswas, 31, adding that there were no immediately apparent signs of foul play.
Biswas' brother told The Post that he and his family were gutted by the news, noting that they’d tried in vain to get Biswas help as he battled apparent mental illness.
"We're all extremely devastated," said Biprojit Biswas, 34, when reached by phone. “There’s no words.
"He's a really good guy. He's brilliant," he continued. “He went to Bronx High School of Science. He went on to study applied mathematics. We're still not sure where things went wrong."
Biswas said his sibling was self-employed and most recently working on a cryptocurrency security program, and online profiles show that the younger Biswas also dabbled in artificial intelligence.
He said the family started to see changes in Biswas' demeanor over the past year, but that he largely kept his struggles to himself.
"He was always a normal, healthy person, or so he led us to believe," the elder Biswas said. "The changes started coming only in the past year. He would say things that didn't make much sense from time to time. He had a girlfriend and they had a bad breakup, but I don't want to say that was the cause of everything. He didn't really like to share much. He's a private person."
