Man dies after found with head trauma on Corona Ave.: NYPD

CORONA — The medical examiner is investigating whether criminality contributed to the death of a 54-year-old man found unconscious on a Corona street Friday night, the NYPD said.

The Police Department said the victim, whose name has not yet been released, was discovered unresponsive with trauma to the head at 11:32 p.m. on Corona Avenue near 102nd Street.

Paramedics rushed him to Elmhurst Hospital, where police said he was pronounced dead.

The NYPD said his injuries were consistent with someone who fell or was assaulted, so the medical examiner’s office will determine the cause of his death.

The 54-year-old’s identity was being withheld until his family is notified, according to the NYPD.
