NEWARK (1010 WINS) -- A woman died Saturday at a hospital hours after police discovered her unresponsive near a building on Rutgers' Newark campus, prosecutors said.

Police reported to the scene at 12:41 p.m., finding 42-year-old Jaleila Wilson lying unconscious on the 100 block of Bleeker Street. Wilson, a Newark native, went into cardiac arrest at the hospital, dying at around 4:30 p.m. that day.


Whether Wilson had any affiliation with the university is unknown.

The Essex County prosecutor's office hasn't yet said if Wilson suffered any other injuries, nor has it specified what building police found her near. Thus far, no arrests have been made in connection to the incident.
