Plastic surgeon found guilty of murdering lawyer whose body was never recovered

A plastic surgeon has been found guilty of first-degree murder in a case in which the victim's body was never recovered, a court has ruled.

Tomasz Kosowski was convicted in the death of lawyer Steven Cozzi, who disappeared in March 2023. The guilty verdict was delivered by a judge rather than a jury.

The case is notable for resulting in a murder conviction despite the absence of a body, a relatively rare outcome in criminal proceedings. No further sentencing details were immediately available.
