BROAD CHANNEL, Queens (WABC) — A human head discovered last week in the Jamaica Wildlife Refuge in Broad Channel, Queens, appears to belong to a Guyanese woman whose torso was found months earlier near Idlewood Park.<\/p>\n

That earlier discovery<\/a> was made on Sept. 23, when two sanitation workers came across the torso while collecting trash in the area.<\/p>\n

(Video from previous report)<\/p>\n

According to authorities, the torso showed no wounds or visible injuries.<\/p>\n

One rib appeared to be broken, but investigators believe the fracture likely occurred when the body was dropped, not as a result of violence.<\/p>\n

Police have not released further details as they continue to investigate how the remains ended up in two separate locations.<\/p>\n

The Medical Examiner will determine the woman’s cause of death.<\/p>\n
