from Wiki:
Barry Steven Cowsill (September 14, 1954 – August 29, 2005) Aged 50 years

Both Barry Cowsill and his sister Susan were living in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina struck on August 29, 2005. Susan and her husband left New Orleans, but most of her belongings at her New Orleans home were destroyed.

A badly decomposed body recovered from the Chartres Street Wharf in New Orleans on December 28 was identified on January 4, 2006, as Barry. He had a piece of paper with his name and phone number in his pants pocket.[18] The official cause of death is believed to be drowning as the New Orleans coroner found no signs of foul play.

Two memorial services were held for Barry. One was held on February 19, 2006, in his native Newport, Rhode Island at the Hotel Viking. The second was held on February 26, 2006, in New Orleans.
