History
Primary Canon
As noted in Tobin's Spirit Guide, In 1950 he opened a restaurant, Sargassi's, and attempted to turn his back on the sea. It appears that after his death by choking on a fish stick while being eaten by a great white shark, the Sedgewick Hotel kept the restaurant on the 3rd floor.

Insight Editions
In the late 1970s, Sargassi's ghost began manifesting at various branches in New York, including Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Times Square outlets. He eventually made a permanent home of the dining room at the branch located in the Sedgewick Hotel lobby. [2] Sargassi wasn't a threat to people but he was chased and devoured by a Class 4 spectral shark. The Ghostbusters were called in. They trapped the shark then Sargassi dispersed and ceased to manifest again. [3] [4]
