Police and EMTs responded to a report of a body found outside the porta-potties in Tompkins Square Park this afternoon just after 3. (The temporary toilets are positioned on the walkway between the main lawn and Sandra Turner Garden.)
Sources on the scene say this is a suspected OD, though there wasn't any official confirmation.
The deceased is a 35-year-old male, police said. His name has not been released pending family notification.

Was this person identified? I came across the last moments of the EMS declaring him dead and it really moved me. I hope to put a name and a life to this awful tragedy.
This was my brother. If anyone has any information or spoke to him prior to his death, please reach out to me.
