Cops are investigating whether a Queens woman found dead in a car parked in the Bronx was strangled by her beau, police sources said.
A man, 40, called 911 about 4:25 a.m. and told the operator that he killed his friend, sources said.
Police found the woman, 22, unconscious in the driver’s seat of her white Honda in Mott Haven at the intersection of Bruckner Boulevard and Brook Avenue. She was pronounced dead by EMS at 4:30 a.m.
Some blood was found coming from the woman’s nose but that was the only obvious sign of trauma, sources said.
Investigators believe she was killed in the man’s Fox Street apartment, and that he brought her body to the desolate Bruckner Boulevard intersection, about a mile and a half away, sources said.
He tried to commit suicide by slashing his wrists there, but did not succeed.
EMS took him to Lincoln Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and to treat his arm injury, sources added.
Police were hunting for evidence near the woman’s car and pulled a suitcase of a dumpster this morning during the search.
The death has not been ruled a homicide yet. Police said the medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
