Woman Found Dead with Body Trauma in Central Park
The victim was believed to be in her 60s, and police said an autopsy will determine whether the death was a homicide.
On Sunday, the NYPD discovered a woman dead inside a wooden gazebo in Central Park. The Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to identify her and determine the cause of death.
First responders found the unresponsive woman near the Central Park Ramble at East 74th Street Sunday morning. Authorities believe she may have been living in the park.
The woman suffered head trauma and multiple stab wounds, according to reports. While the NYPD has not yet officially deemed the case a homicide, investigators continue examining the scene.
Detectives cordoned off the area amid pouring rain and used flashlights to examine the gazebo throughout the rainy Sunday morning. A powerful noreaster complicated the investigation in Manhattan.
No arrests have been made in connection with the incident. Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS to provide tips confidentially.
