Woman’s remains found in basement of Brooklyn NYCHA building, police say

Police in Brooklyn discovered a shocking discovery at the basement of a public housing building in Williamsburg - a woman's remains. The grim find was made just after 9:30 a.m. Sunday, following a 911 call about an unconscious person at the building on Bushwick Avenue near McKibbin Street.

The NYPD officers who responded to the scene found the body in the basement of NYCHA's Borinquen Plaza II complex. The victim has been identified as Michelle Montgomery, a 39-year-old resident of another nearby NYCHA development, the Gowanus Houses.

Details about how the woman met her end are still scarce, and the investigation is ongoing. While no arrests have been made in connection with the case, police are working to determine what happened to Montgomery. The New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

The discovery has left many wondering how such a tragedy could occur in a public housing building, and officials are urging anyone with information to come forward. As the investigation unfolds, police are seeking answers to what happened to this young woman.
 
😱 just saw that news about some poor soul found dead at NYCHA building in Brooklyn... like, how does this happen? 🤯 I mean, I know there's a lot of issues with public housing, but you'd think they'd have better security or something 😂. Anyway, I hope the cops catch whoever did this and bring them to justice. But seriously, 39 years old, that's young. Can't even get a decent wifi connection in those buildings 🤦‍♀️. Anyone got any info? Come on, NYC, we need answers! 💔
 
I'm so sad about this 😔... did you know that the US has one of the highest rates of homicides among its citizens, with a rate of 4.9 per 100,000 people in 2022? 📊 That's more than twice the global average! 🌎 And it's not just homicides, but also suicides and other violent crimes... according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, NYC saw over 3,500 homicides between 2015-2018 alone. 💀 Those numbers are staggering, especially when you think about it happening in a public housing building like this... 🤯 Did you know that NYCHA, which is responsible for this complex, has been under scrutiny for its maintenance and safety issues for years? 🚧 It's heartbreaking to think that something so tragic could happen here. 🤕
 
😱 OMG, can't believe what's going down in that building... it's like something straight out of a horror movie! 🤯 How do people even not notice when someone is struggling? It's like they just disappear into thin air. I'm so angry and sad at the same time, thinking about this poor woman and her family who must be going through hell right now 😔.

What's really concerning me is how we keep hearing about these kinds of incidents in public housing buildings... it's like a ticking time bomb waiting to happen 🚨. We need more support for our communities, more resources for the people living there... it's just not fair that this keeps happening! 💔 I hope they find out what happened and bring justice to Michelle Montgomery's family soon 👊.

I'm also thinking about how this affects the mental health of all those living in NYCHA developments... it's like a never-ending cycle of trauma 🤯. We need to talk more about this and support our fellow New Yorkers who are going through tough times 💕. The police investigation is just the start; we need systemic changes too 💪.
 
Ugh, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this 🤕... A 39-yr-old mom living in a public housing building gets found dead at the basement... it's just so senseless 😔. I mean, I know we can't control everything, but it feels like these kinds of tragedies are happening way too often in our city.

I'm not sure what's going on with our public housing system, but something needs to change 🤷‍♀️. We need more support for people living in those buildings, like access to mental health services and safe spaces. It's not fair that someone has to go through all that stress and struggle before it ends in tragedy.

I'm keeping my thoughts with the Montgomery family and hoping they get some answers soon 💕. If anyone has any info about what might have happened, please come forward and help the police solve this case 📝.
 
Man... can't believe that's where she ended up 🤕. You'd think public housing buildings would be safe, especially when you're paying rent. It's just heartbreaking to think about Michelle Montgomery and her family, what they must be going through right now 😔. It's not like we don't know the struggles people face in these places, but still... it's just a sad reminder that sometimes life can take a turn for the worst.

I'm worried about the system too, how do we prevent this from happening again? Do we need more resources or better support services? I hope they get to the bottom of what went down here and bring some closure to her loved ones 🙏.
 
man... 39 years old... just found out yesterday that she's gone 🤕 thinkin' 'bout all the things that could've led up to her... was it something in her past? some kinda struggle she couldn't escape? or maybe just a moment of darkness that took over? and what about those who knew her, did they see somethin'? heard somethin' that coulda changed everything? the investigation's just startin', but i'm wonderin' if we'll ever know the whole truth... it's like, we're all tryin' to piece together this puzzle, but sometimes some pieces are just lost forever 💔
 
🤕💔 This is so sad... I just can't even right now. A 39-year-old woman just found dead in a public housing building? It's like something out of a nightmare! 😱 And the fact that she was living in another NYCHA development nearby, it's just so weird. What if someone knew something about her and didn't say anything? 🤐

I'm trying to think about how the police are working to figure this out, but my mind is all over the place... They're doing an autopsy and everything, but I wish they could find out who did this and get them justice already! 💪 This poor woman deserved so much better. 😔
 
Ugh, can you even believe it? Some poor girl just chillin' in her basement, and then BAM! Her life is over 💀. I mean, what's up with public housing buildings? They're supposed to be safe spaces for people, not graveyards. And a 911 call about an unconscious person? How did that not lead to this sooner? The NYPD needs to step it up, fam 🚨.

I'm so glad they're investigating, but let's get real, these kinds of cases are always super hard to solve. It's like, what even is going on in some people's heads? 🤯 I hope they can find out what happened to this girl and bring justice to her family. Anyway, it just makes me wanna be all extra about keeping our communities safe 🌟.
 
It's like they say... "the truth is rarely pure and never simple." The more we learn about Michelle Montgomery's tragic case, the more questions will arise 🤔💔. How could something so devastating happen in a place where people are supposed to feel safe? It's heartbreaking that the investigation is ongoing, leaving many families wondering what happened to their loved one 💕. We need answers, but most importantly, we need closure for this young woman and her family ❤️.
 
OMG, just heard about this on BBC 🚨😱 and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it... 39 years old, a mom, a daughter, a life cut short in such a shocking manner... it's just not right 😔. Public housing should be safe spaces for everyone, but clearly, that's not the case here. It's like something out of a movie, but sadly, this is real life 💔. I keep thinking about Michelle Montgomery's family and friends, who must be going through hell right now 🤕. We need to make sure justice is served and whoever is responsible is held accountable 🚫. Can't help but wonder what could have been done differently... 😟
 
😱 Can you believe it? A body just chillin' at the bottom of a basement like that's where they put their laundry basket 🤣. I mean, I know NYC is crowded and all, but come on! You'd think the authorities would've found out about it before someone called 911... or maybe they were too busy fighting over who got to be the lead in the next season of The Great British Baking Show 🍰👏. On a more serious note, RIP Michelle Montgomery - may you finally get some peace and quiet in that crazy basement 🙏💀.
 
The sudden and tragic finding in the basement of NYCHA's Borinquen Plaza II complex is indeed a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities that exist within our public housing systems 😔. The fact that Michelle Montgomery, a 39-year-old resident, was found deceased under such circumstances has left many to ponder the underlying causes of this tragic event.

From an sociological perspective, it is essential to acknowledge that poverty, lack of access to resources, and the psychological toll of living in densely populated public housing developments can all contribute to a high risk of mental health issues and ultimately, tragic outcomes like this one 🤕. The NYPD's efforts to determine the cause of death and identify any potential suspects are crucial in addressing these systemic issues and providing a sense of justice for Montgomery's family 👪.

As the investigation unfolds, it is vital that officials prioritize community engagement and transparency in their efforts to uncover the truth behind this devastating event 📝. By doing so, we can work towards creating a safer and more supportive environment for all residents, particularly those living in public housing developments 🌟.
 
This is just heartbreaking 🤕... I mean, you'd think that public housing buildings would have some sort of security or monitoring system in place, but apparently not. I'm really worried about how this could've happened - was it a robbery gone wrong? A domestic dispute? It's all still so unclear.

And what's with the lack of surveillance footage from the building? You'd think that in today's digital age, we should be able to track down some info at least. But I guess you never really know what goes on behind closed doors... or in this case, a basement door 🤔. Anyway, fingers crossed that they find out what happened and get justice for Michelle Montgomery. It's just not right 😔.
 
man that's so messed up 🤯 i mean, can you imagine finding a body like that down in some basement of a public housing building? it's like something out of a movie or somethin... they're sayin' no arrests have been made yet but i'm thinkin' there gotta be more to this story than what we're seein'. maybe it was an accident, maybe it was a homicide... idk, but my gut's tellin' me somethin' fishy's goin' on here 🤔 NYPD's doin' their thing, but i wish they'd let us know more about the timeline and all that jazz... this whole thing's got me thinkin' it's not just a random tragedy, there might be some conspiracy at play 😒
 
Ugh, can you believe it? Another tragic story like this is just heartbreaking 🤕. I mean, how does something like this happen in a public housing building?! It's like, we should be able to trust our institutions, right? But no, it seems like tragedy after tragedy keeps happening 💔.

I'm not saying the police don't do their job, but come on, can't they do more to prevent these kinds of situations from happening in the first place? Like, what were they doing while this woman was dying down in the basement?! 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this investigation unfolds. But one thing's for sure, it's gonna be a long time before I can feel like my public housing is safe 🚫.
 
😕 I'm still trying to process this heartbreaking news... 39 years old is just so young 😔. It's hard to imagine that someone who was living in our community, right next door, could be gone like that 🤯. The thought of someone going through such a traumatic experience without anyone noticing or being able to help is just devastating 😢. As a neighbor, it's even harder to accept... I keep thinking about all the what-ifs and maybes... did she get enough food? Was her apartment warm? Did she have someone check in on her? 🤔 The investigation is ongoing, but it feels like we're all still waiting for answers 💭.
