Body Found Along Harlem River Drive

A man’s decomposing body was found along the Harlem River Drive on Tuesday, police said.

A Department of Transportation worker made the gruesome discovery just before 8 a.m. in a grassy area near W. 155th St., police said.

The man was not carrying identification. The Medical Examiner’s office will conduct an autopsy but there were no immediate signs of trauma, police said.

The worker spotted the body off the highway’s southbound lanes, about 300 feet from Exit 23. Police searched the area for clues later.

Police sources believe the man – who was described as possibly Hispanic – could be homeless.

While the bulk involves new schools or replacements for others being phased out, many of the other relocations involve schools being moved for the second time or into buildings that can house them for only a year.

The rejiggering is most troubling to parents whose kids are at schools that are moving as far as six miles away from their old location — sometimes even across school-district lines.

In todays video, sailors Logan and Jonathan — last names withheld to protect them from admirers — showed us the ropes (literally) as we made our way up to the George Washington Bridge.
