The police discovered the decomposed body of a 20-year-old woman at 4 Washington Square Village yesterday evening. WABC 7 says that the victim was last seen alive on Wednesday and was found "inside a locked bedroom." Neighbors had called the police to complain about a foul odor; the police are handling the situation as a homicide until they hear from the ME's office.
NYU's spokesman John Beckman released a statement; here is some of it:
“The apartment in question belongs to an NYU faculty member in The Steinhardt School who is currently traveling as part of a foreign study program; the dead woman is believed to be her daughter. Because of the circumstances of the death, the NYPD is treating it as suspicious and is investigating. The University has been and will continue to aid their investigation in any way possible.Beckman added, "I believe I can speak for everyone at NYU when I say that the thoughts and prayers of our entire community are with this family at this time of tragedy.” NYU is also offering counseling.“As a precaution, NYU’s Department of Public Safety will increase patrols in and around Washington Square Village to provide increased uniform presence."
Washington Square Village is located on the super block bounded by Mercer and LaGuardia, West 3rd and Bleecker. Many of the units are owned by NYU and leased to faculty.

RIP.
Drugs or Murder?
wow, it's a young black girl.
it could be an uninvited party crasher who did this? Gee, you think?
Sounds similar to the murder of Catherine Woods in '05. Pretty, somewhat shady girl -- stripper in the former, no-green-card, college dropout in the latter; seriously shady, possessive, "off and on" boyfriend; broken family. When he's collared they can just recycle the headlines from two years ago.
Idiots.
She lived on my floor and I wish I'd known her better. She wasn't shady, she was incredible--that much I knew--and this neighborhood is so safe it might as well be Disneyland. This is not some housing project, and her parents were professors; her mother is a South African diplomat It was her estranged BF, not drugs.
