New York City authorities have identified the 24-year-old woman who was found dead at the bottom of a trash compactor in a luxurious Manhattan building as a Minnesota legal recruiter.
Jaclyn Elmquist vanished late Thursday after attending a work party. CCTV footage caught her staggering down Chelsea Street at around 11:45 p.m.
Her body was discovered Friday in the basement of the +Art complex at 540 West 28th Street, police said.
“A 24-year-old woman was found unconscious and unresponsive in a garbage compactor at the bottom of a trash chute at 540 West 28th Street,” the NYPD said.
“EMS responded and pronounced her dead at the scene. Preliminary investigations suggest she died having fallen down the garbage chute. No criminality is suspected at this time.”
