The body of a Brooklyn man was found hanging from a tree in Prospect Park Monday in an apparent suicide, police said.

Mikulas Ceselka, 56, was discovered with a rope around his neck near the park’s lake around 3:45 a.m., according to a law enforcement official.

Ceselka, who lived nearby in Park Slope, was declared dead at the scene.

The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death.

Last August, a 53-year-old man was found hanged from a tree in the park, according to The Brooklyn Paper.
