Yesterday, police found a woman's body, wrapped in plastic bags, in an alley off Walton Avenue in the Bronx. According to the Daily News, "A woman called police to say her boyfriend had helped get rid of a body outside the Walton Ave. apartment building... The tipster told cops she had a guilty conscience and said her boyfriend had confessed to her that he helped another man dump the body." The ME's office will determine cause of death and the Post says the victim was apparently a Jehovah's Witness who lived with her mother in the building. The News reports that it seems the victim had been dead for a few days, adding that the super "said he used Clorox to clean the Morris Heights building's elevator after tenants complained about a smell. Still, the odor lingered."

Just in from the newswire, there's a "suspicious death" being reported at McCarren Park Pool, allegedly at the building that serves as an entrance. The person was found "DOA by event staff" earlier this morning. Last night Twelve Ophelias, a play centered around Hamlet's Ophelia coming back to life, was staged there; the night before there was a screening of The Virgin Suicides. All in all, a dark week for McCarren. Thus far, multiple calls to the Precinct have gone unanswered.
