A woman died after falling into an uncovered manhole in Midtown Manhattan late Monday night, police told Fox News Digital.
The 56-year-old woman was found unconscious and unresponsive inside an uncovered manhole in front of 653 Fifth Ave., near East 52nd Street, around 11:19 p.m., the NYPD told Fox News Digital Tuesday.
Police responded to a 911 call for an aided person and arrived to find the woman inside the manhole within the confines of the Midtown North Precinct. The area is part of one of Manhattan’s busiest shopping and tourist corridors, lined with luxury retailers, office towers and hotels.
EMS transported the woman to New York – Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead, police said. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death.
