Rian Robbins, the passerby who made the unfortunate discovery, said she was suspicious of the package because there were flies circling around it.
“I walked past it and turned around and there were flies all over the place. And I saw what looked like a rib cage,” Rian Robbins said benNewYork Metro.
They were cleaning out the building, so I thought, maybe it’s something old that they threw away.’
Robbins said the body was on what looked like a cart. “It was on a rolling cart that was tied to the thing,” Robbins said.
“It was large and bloated, as if it had been in the water.”
