NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A 911 call of a "foul odor" led police to discover a woman's body with a bag on her head inside a Highbridge apartment last Saturday. On Thursday, police confirmed she was murdered.
Norayshma Fernandez, 34, was discovered unconscious and unresponsive on the floor inside a unit at 1146 Ogden Ave., with a plastic bag over her head, according to police.
Cops responded around 7:51 p.m. to the 911 call regarding the smell and needed the help of the FDNY to gain access inside. EMS responded and pronounced Fernandez dead at the scene.
She was found face-down in the front bedroom of the apartment, wrapped in a blue and white blanket with a black plastic bag over her head, according to the New York Post.
Fernandez, who lived about a half-mile from where her body was discovered, died of asphyxia, the Post reports.
No arrests have been made at this time and the investigation remains ongoing.
