A young woman's lifeless body was discovered wrapped in a trash bag on an East Harlem sidewalk, sparking a probe into her tragic demise. According to the NYPD, 35-year-old Bonnie Schulman-Rice died from a suspected overdose of illicit substances.
Her body, devoid of any visible signs of trauma, was found at East 124th Street and Park Avenue – just steps away from elevated Metro-North Railroad tracks, raising questions about how she ended up in such a perilous location. A passerby alerted the MTA police, who subsequently alerted NYPD officers to investigate.
Details surrounding Schulman-Rice's life are scarce, but it is known that she had been identified as homeless despite having an address on West 130th Street and Fifth Avenue from 2018. Family members with ties to Long Island have confirmed her identity, but have chosen not to comment further as they come to terms with the news.
As detectives continue their investigation into Schulman-Rice's death, no arrests have been made at this time.

. homeless woman finds herself in a life threatening situation and nobody knows why she was there first off, where did she even live? that address seems legit, but I guess we can't judge. the fact that her body was found with no signs of trauma or struggle is really unsettling... like, how do you end up like this? and those elevated tracks are just a major red flag 
. i'm all for getting people help, but we need to figure out why ppl are dying on our streets in the first place. it's just not right 
. We need to be talking about the root causes of homelessness, mental health, and addiction – it's not just one person's problem, it's a societal issue 
. And what's even more worrying is that this tragic event occurred right next to elevated train tracks... imagine if she'd been walking home from work or something 
. We need to be doing more to support our most vulnerable citizens and make sure they have access to resources and services. This young woman's life deserved better 
.
. Like, who wraps someone in a trash bag and leaves them on the sidewalk? It's so not right, man. And that location? Right under the Metro-North tracks? That's just cruel 
. I mean, I'm all for making sure people have places to live, but this is just a whole different story. Homeless folks deserve better than to be treated like they're disposable 
. And what's with the address change? Is that some kinda revolving door system or what? It's just more evidence that our system is broken 
. We need to talk about the intersectionality of technology and social issues like homelessness and addiction 
.
. This is why we need more affordable housing options and mental health services 
.
. Can't wait for innovative solutions from tech startups that can help solve these pressing issues 
. I was reading about Bonnie Schulman-Rice and her story just breaks my heart... homeless with an address but clearly she was still living life on the streets, fighting the demons of addiction 
... how does someone end up in those situations? It's got me thinking, though - you'd think with an address and everything, they would have been able to get some kind of support system for her, but I guess not 
. Anyway, the fact that no arrests have been made yet is kinda worrisome, don't you think? 
The MTA police and NYPD need to do a thorough investigation, for sure! 
a trash bag isnt a good place 2 be stuck either, thats just cold 
. i hope the detectives can figure out what happened 2 her and maybe we can learn from this too 
. Let's all just send our thoughts to Bonnie's family and loved ones 
. This is just a harsh reminder of how much we need to care about each other's mental health and well-being 
. And to think she had an address, but still ended up homeless... it's just heartbreaking 
But seriously, finding someone like Bonnie Schulman-Rice wrapped in a trash bag on the sidewalk is just sad. I mean, who needs that kinda drama in life? 
Anyways, I hope the detectives find some leads soon and get to the bottom of this... RIP Bonnie
