Officials wearing protective suits and masks swarmed around the vehicle as the 35-year-old's body was recovered and chemicals were removed from the scene.
The 35-year-old was discovered in the back seat of a car parked at East 56th Street and Sutton Place shortly after 11:20 a.m., according to. A dogwalker reportedly raised the alarm after spotting the apparently unconscious woman inside the vehicle — and when police arrived at the scene and opened the door they were hit with an overpowering chemical odor.
A sulphuric smell wafted out and filled the street, the paper added, although it hasn't been revealed which chemicals were involved."I have never seen anything like that," one officer, who requested anonymity, told the paper."That is someone's daughter." "There was some assortment of liquid chemicals in the vehicle," a New York Police Department spokeswoman told thelater that day. No one else was injured in the incident, the source added, and investigators reportedly believe the woman died after being overcome by the fumes. Her identity hasn't yet been released.
A police crime scene. An area of Manhattan was cordoned off on Sunday morning after officials launched a hazmat response when the body of a woman and unidentified chemicals were found in a car.Earlier in the day, some reports by other publications suggested that three emergency responders had suffered injuries as a result of dealing with the incident, but the news sites later corrected their coverage.
The Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine exactly how the woman died. Police were seen bagging up items in large red sacks and carrying them away from the scene.
