NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. — Decomposing human remains that were found wrapped in a sleeping bag and left out on the sidewalk for trash collection in New York City are that of a former Buffalo State University student.
The body of a 33-year-old Yazmeen Williams, a 2016 Buff State graduate, was found in a sleeping bag thrown out in the trash on Friday.
The grisly discovery happened around 5 p.m. on Friday after police received reports of a suspicious package with a foul smell outside of a building in the Kips Bay neighborhood.
Responding officers found the remains in a sleeping bag left alongside other garbage bags set out on the curb for garbage pickup, according to police.
According to WNBC, video and photos shared on social media show what appears to be a body covered in a dark sleeping bag that was further wrapped in black trash bags.
A man was charged in connection with her death.
