A 19-year-old college student from Long Island collapsed inside an East Village lobby then died this morning after a night of bar-hopping, police sources said.
A doorman discovered Jocelyn Pascucci — a Stony Brook University student from East Meadow — unconscious in the lobby of the building at East 12th Street and Third Avenue just before 5 am.
She had been bar-hopping in the neighborhood and drinking heavily, which may have exacerbated her heart condition, law enforcement officials said.
Pascucco, a Marine Vertebrate Biology major, got separated from friends and walked a short distance to the apartment building, wearing only one shoe, police sources said.
A doorman told cops he let her into the building because she looked cold and drunk, police sources said.
Paramedics then rushed her to Beth Israel Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Cops said there was no sign of trauma.
Pascucco loved nature and dreamed of doing environmental conservation work, according to an online profile.
“I plan on going into conservation or consulting,” she wrote.
