A woman was pronounced dead after being found on fire inside a subway car in Brooklyn on Sunday morning, and the police said that “criminality is suspected” in the death.
Police officers responded just before 7:30 a.m. to a report of a woman on fire in the middle car of a stationary F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station, a spokesman for the New York Police Department said.
Emergency responders extinguished the fire and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene, the spokesman said.
The investigation is ongoing and “criminality is suspected,” the spokesman said, noting that the woman’s death appeared to be a homicide. It was not clear how she caught fire.
The authorities were reviewing camera footage. The woman’s age and identity were not immediately released on Sunday.
