Man Found Dead In Central Park In Apparent Suicide
In extremely gruesome news, a young man was found dead in Central Park earlier this morning. Reports state he was hanging from an overpass with a plastic bag wrapped around his head.
From the NY Post:
The unidentified white man in his 30s was found dangling by an orange cord from the Winterdale Arch near Central Park West and West 82nd Street around 5:50 a.m. by a passerby who discovered his body and called 911, said cops and a park worker.
It seems authorities and park workers believe it was a suicide.
“He hung himself. Right off the railing at the edge of the arch,” the parks worker said.
“I saw a long orange cord. He had tied a plastic bag around his head, too… It was awful to see. I’m about ready to go home.”
The site states police haven’t said whether or not they have a suicide note just yet. Condolences to his loved ones.
