NYPD Investigates Robbery, Sexual Misconduct Involving Corpse on Manhattan Subway

New York City police are searching for two suspects involved in a shocking incident on a subway train where a deceased man was both robbed and sexually assaulted. The victim, believed to have died of natural causes, was found on a Manhattan R train late Tuesday night. A woman reportedly stole property from the unresponsive man before a male suspect engaged in sexual acts with the corpse hours later. Surveillance footage has been released showing the male suspect, described as wearing a yellow hoodie and a black puffer jacket, rummaging through the victim's pockets before committing the act. This incident has heightened public concerns about subway safety, amidst a backdrop of rising violent crime in the transit system. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch has noted a decrease in overall subway crime, despite recent high-profile incidents that have drawn attention to safety issues.
