A dead body was found in Central Park on Thursday, a police spokesperson told West Side Rag.

The person was found unresponsive around 10:50 a.m. near 63 Traverse Road and Central Park, not far from the Central Park Carousel, police said. PIX11 reported that the body was found under a pile of snow.

The person was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the police, who did not have any identifying information as of 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The NYPD’s chief medical examiner will determine the cause of death. The police spokesperson did not tell the Rag whether the death was considered suspicious.

We will update this story when we learn more.

When was the last time we had leaves on the ground? The original story states that the body buried in the snow and under a pile of leaves, which would be slightly suspicious. Is that location considered a remote area?
