Police say a woman’s body was found in a garbage can of a residential building Monday morning in the Tremont section of the Bronx. 

Police say they responded to a call at around 8:30 a.m. of an unconscious woman. They say the woman was found partially naked and had clear signs of trauma. 

 

News 12 saw what appeared to be underwear next to an evidence marker outside of the building. Where she was found was not the basement of the building, but rather in an alleyway that is underneath the ground floor. 

The medical examiner will determine the cause of death. 

Police say the investigation is ongoing.
