More on the woman's body found this morning along Avenue B
This morning, we reported that a woman's body was found outside St. Brigid's on Avenue B ... Colin Moynihan at the Times has a follow-up piece on the discovery ... the police ID'd her as a woman in her 50s... Tompkins Square Park regulars said the woman's name was Liz ... Meanwhile, an EV Grieve reader noted: "I just walked past there again and one of her friends was bawling, 'Why did you do this, Liz?!' Poor guy. He was devastated."
We often see people sleeping in this alcove between the under-renovation St. Brigid's rectory and the school. Dave on 7th took the above photo on Aug. 28 as the remnants of Hurricane Irene hit the city...

Today at the BMW Guggenheim Lab: Natividad Zirate
As BoweryBoogie noted back in May, the city tossed the tools belonging to Natividad Zirate, the homeless bicycle mechanic who worked near the BMW Guggenheim Lab. This happened as workers were preparing the lot for the BMW Guggenheim Lab. (We discussed that and other matters about the Lab here.)
In any event, a reader noted one of the programs today during the First Street Green day at the Lab:
This program is 2-4.
Meanwhile, EV Grieve reader Steve Carter noted the arrival of balloons at the Lab this morning. Someone celebrating a birthday?

... as police investigate the death of a woman under the sidewalk shed at St. Brigid's...
An officer told Dave on 7th that the victim is a homeless woman. No foul play is suspected. Another reader was told that the death is being treated as an overdose.
This is the same space where Grace Farrell died back in February.
