Workers discover woman's remains inside bag in basement of Brooklyn building

A victim has been identified after a woman’s remains were found in Brooklyn on Sunday morning.

A janitor made the discovery just after 9:30 a.m. in the basement of the building at The Borinquen Public Houses at 330 Bushwick Avenue in Williamsburg.

NYCHA workers in the lower level found a bag suspiciously heavy, so they opened it and looked inside — that is when they found a body in pieces.

On Monday, officials identified the victim as 39-year-old Michelle Montgomery.

Detectives were going around floor-by-floor looking for information.

There are no arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death.
