Woman Found Dead in Astoria Home Wednesday: NYPD

23-81 32 Street (Google Maps)

June 11, 2020 By Michael Dorgan

The police are investigating the death of a 49-year-old woman who was found dead inside her Astoria home last night.

The woman was discovered after police received a 911 call at around 9:10 p.m. that there was an elderly man with mental problems inside 23-81 32 St.

Police found the woman’s body after having a confrontation with an 80-year-old man, who was the victim’s father. Police said the man was in need of medical attention.

The police do not suspect any foul play in terms of the death of the woman. They believe the woman may have had a medical episode and her father did not have the mental capacity to help.

Cops said the elderly man appeared to be a hoarder.

The cause of the woman’s death is unknown and the Medical Examiner will ultimately make the determination, police said

The woman’s name has yet to be released.

When The Durst Organization broke ground on its massive Halletts Point project in Astoria on a cold winter day in January 2016, the speeches were delivered inside a massive brick warehouse that had cut off public access to a stretch of East River waterfront for generations. That warehouse is long gone, demolished and then replaced by two high-rise residential towers, 20 and 30 Halletts Point, which launched leasing earlier this year, and a 58,000-square-foot waterfront esplanade that opened to the public this month.

Can Queens’ food scene thrive with both trucks and restaurants?

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
