From Forest Hills Patch:

A 20-year-old woman was found dead in the women’s restroom at the 71st-Continental Ave. Subway station on Monday afternoon, according to police.

The woman, who has yet to be identified, was found by a commuter who went into the women’s restroom on the plaza level of the station at around 2:45 p.m. Monday afternoon.

Emergency Medical personnel arrived shortly after and pronounced the young woman dead at the scene.

Police said they have not been able to identify the victim, who was hanging from a water pipe in the bathroom by a rope.

Damn.... I've never heard anything like this. Usually people hang themselves at home. Kids get found in closets dead and what not.

Was she homeless? A stock broker who lost everything? Emotional little girl?

Who knows. Keep up posted.

I can't believe there is a bathroom and they let the public use it. Oh it is in the jewish section of Queens, that explains it all.

Then explain the bathrooms at the Main Street station.

Before you do that I can point to others in non-Jewish neighborhoods. Now go ahead. Explain yourself.

Could it be murder? This is a demeaning place to die.

Don't talk until you've seen the insides of those bathrooms. They are shitholes. The transit cops keep them locked when they are patrolling the station, due to the high volume of homeless setting up camp in them. The MTA personnel gets pissed off at the cops, and re-opens them, letting all the skells in. Trust me, you wouldn't want to do business in them.

I use that station every single day and I've never seen a bathroom. That is absolutely terrible.

sad story - 20 years old!

what if she were murdered and the murderer(s) left her body in that position to make it appear like suicide.

was she homeless and sleeping there?

wow - poor girl.

Even if it were a homicide,compstat rules will still classify it as a suicide 'cause ray kelly says crime is down.

The 112 will never fudge numbers, right Charlie?

what if she was a spy, and the Mossad killed her and made it look like a murder?

But on the serious tip:

How come people are upset about there being bathrooms on the train stations? It must be these new people in town. Not only "skels" use them. Regular yuppies like you use them too. Also, cops regularly take them over so they have a place to hang out and not work. Think I'm joking?

You would have to be desperate to use these bathrooms. Mostly see gays loitering around the few unlocked ones in the distant past. I doubt they go there now, but the homeless and druggies probably frequent them today.
