    A human head was found floating in Jamaica Bay Tuesday – and investigators are probing whether it is linked to the headless body discovered in the same waters weeks earlier, cops said.

    The gruesome discovery was made at around 10:10 a.m. in waters along Cross Bay Boulevard near 165th Avenue in Howard Beach, police said, noting the NYPD’s Harbor Unit responded.

    Police are working to determine whether the severed head belongs to Ozone Park resident Lukasz Mikolajewicz, 46, whose remains were spotted by a couple fishing at the shore on April 12, cops said.

    His headless body was pulled from the waters about 600 yards west from the start of the Cross Bay Bridge, cops said.

    Mikolajewicz’s death has been ruled a suicide by the city Medical Examiner’s office, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny previously told reporters.

    Security footage obtained by cops showed a man in black clothing walking alone onto the bridge before disappearing from view, Kenny said.

    “The body that we recovered is headless but wearing the same clothes as the male that was walking on the bridge,” the police official said. “When we go to the location where we lose sight of him, we find a green rope that was tied onto a metal railing.”
