NEW YORK — A woman was found dead inside a Manhattan hotel room, with a bloody clothes iron near her head, according to police sources.
The 38-year-old victim was found around 10:30 a.m. at the 54 SoHo hotel in Watts Street in between Sixth Avenue y Varick Street, the police said. They found her lying on the floor, under a blanket inside the room on the 11th floor.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The medical examiner was working to determine the cause of death, according to police.
Other guests staying next to the room where the woman’s body was found said they heard hotel staff banging on the door in the morning, but did not suspect anything violent had occurred. However, they were not in the room on Thursday night.
Preliminary evidence indicated the death may have been a homicide. Police sources said that an iron covered in blood was found near the woman’s head.
An investigation is ongoing. The victim’s name has not yet been released.
