Andy Cohen’s Friend From Childhood Found Dead In A River After Being Missing For A Month
Poughkeepsie, New York. 48-year-old Andy Neiman was an actor and playwright that was childhood friends with Bravo’s Andy Cohen.
On May Friday, May 21st, Andy Neiman went missing from Poughkeepsie after he was admitted to a nearby hospital for psychosis and mental unwellness.
Andy waited there for 14 hours to be transferred to a psych unit, and at some point during that waiting period, he vanished.
After Andy’s disappearance, Andy Cohen shared his childhood friend’s missing flyers on Facebook.
Andy Neiman’s sister Emily Asher Abramson has also been active on social media, hoping to find where her brother went.

Unfortunately, the search for Andy is now over after he was found dead in the Hudson River.
“Today I am writing the post I hoped I’d never have to,” Emily wrote in a Facebook post. “The one that concludes this endless ardent search for our brother, Andrew Michael Neiman.”
“Yesterday it was confirmed that the body found on the Hudson River shoreline in Poughkeepsie on Wednesday was indeed him.”

“I spent the first half of this month of his missing wracked with terror, knowing in my being that it was very possible that he had met his end.”
“With the encouragement of close family, I would return to the notion that he was on a journey, perhaps even a healing one, and would return when he was ready.”

On the GoFundMe page created to help Andy’s family raise money to hire a private investigator to help search for him, they shared that the remaining money will go to Andy’s 8-year-old daughter that he leaves behind.
“We are utterly heartbroken to share the news that Andy’s body was found on the shore of the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie,” Andy’s family wrote on the page.
“THANK YOU for generously supporting our four-week search effort. Now, in the face of this terrible tragedy, we are increasing our goal to $100,000 to raise additional funds for the benefit of Andy’s eight-year-old daughter, and to help cover his funeral expenses.”
