NEW YORK (1010 WINS) \u2014 A body was found stuck in the chimney of a New York City public school after a janitor called an exterminator regarding a foul smell only days after classes ended for summer break, sources confirmed to 1010 WINS.<\/p>\n
The discovery was made at P.S.\/ I.S. 113 Anthony J. Pranzo in Glendale, Queens on Tuesday morning. Sources said that the responding exterminator opened the ash dump and found a shoe; then, felt a foot and called the police.<\/p>\n
The body belongs to an adult, sources said. It has been decomposing for some time and the deceased has not yet been identified.<\/p>\n
The 2025-2026 school year concluded on Friday afternoon, and the Department of Education confirmed in a statement that there were no students in the building at the time of the discovery due to summer construction.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis discovery is deeply upsetting and concerning, and we are making sure the right supports are in place for the entire school community while NYPD investigates,” a DOE spokesperson said. <\/p>\n
The medical examiner will determine the cause of death. The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (1010 WINS) \u2014 A body was found stuck in the chimney of a New York City…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[5360,2606,9,56,63,65,64,122],"class_list":["post-284540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-body-found","tag-glendale","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-queens"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
