On Sunday, March 5, 2023, a woman was found dead in a car with an “assortment of liquid substances” in Manhattan. Manhattan’s 35-year-old was found surrounded by hazardous materials. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to online sources, two NYPD policemen and a first responder were also affected by the toxins. Sutton Place’s apartment complex housed the woman’s automobile. Euroweeklynews reported that emergency responders, including a hazmat team, arrived immediately.
Shelter-in-place ordered.
Authorities said liquid chemicals in the truck killed the victim. “There was some assortment of liquid substances in the truck,” an NYPD spokeswoman told The New York Post. Their chemical makeup is unknown. Hazmat-clad responders were present. According to the New York Metro, they carried radiation-detecting Geiger counters. Emergency services stopped neighboring streets while white-suited responders investigated. Nearby residents are reportedly under a shelter-in-place order.
‘Smelled like a small science lab.”
CBS reported a nearby resident smelling something. “It smelled like a science lab,” Jake Steiner said. Thinking about something so close to home is terrifying.”
‘Sulfur-smelling officers’
According to the New York Metro, two NYPD officers responded when a woman found the deceased while walking her dog. The source said the officers smelled sulfur when they opened the woman’s car door. The outlet’s sources indicated they’ll be alright after getting evaluated on the spot. The woman’s death may have been accidental, even though the authorities detected no unlawful behavior. One cop informed the publication, “That is someone’s daughter.” There are no more injuries.
Chemical suicide?
About four years ago, a Queens man was found in a vehicle. Police said the Lyft driver committed “chemical suicide” after an inquiry. After the victim’s body was recovered, the FDNY’s HazMat Unit cleared the area so firefighters could remove him from the automobile, Local Today says. In a confined environment, a person commits chemical suicide by inhaling chemical fumes from other goods or household cleaners, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. First responders and those exposed to vapors risk serious injury.
Chemical suicide may have killed the 35-year-old woman found on March 5.
