Landscape Contractor Discovers Severed Leg on N.Y. Beach

A severed human leg, stuffed inside a plastic bag, was found Wednesday on the shore of Long Island Sound near the compound of billionaire James Dolan, police said.

A landscaper working on the property found the limb, which apparently had washed in from the sound, said a Nassau County police spokesman, Det. Sgt. Anthony Repalone.

Homicide investigators were at the scene, and police divers were sent into the water to search for additional remains or evidence, Repalone said.

It was not immediately clear how long the leg had been in the water, the sergeant said.

Dolan is the CEO of Cablevision and the chairman of Madison Square Garden, which owns the New York Knicks and Rangers.

The small, tony village of Cove Neck is about 30 miles northeast of Manhattan.
