Attorney's sudden death shocks colleagues, friends

ST. THOMAS — Friends, loved ones, colleagues, and clients of attorney Ryan Greene are mourning his sudden death.

“He was a magnetic personality,” said friend and fellow attorney Joel Holt. “He was always full of life, had a great smile, a great sense of humor, and was quite an astute person.”

An outpouring of condolences and posts on social media began Monday morning, and many indicated that Greene had drowned.

The Daily News contacted V.I. Police, who had not yet confirmed Greene’s death as of Monday evening, and the circumstances are unclear.

Police did report a possible drowning Sunday evening on St. Thomas. Police spokesman Glen Dratte said a man’s body was found floating in Magens Bay off Platform Beach on Peterborg Point, but police have not yet released the victim’s name.
