Hazmat Team Dispatched to Park Slope Brownstone
A reader just sent in this photo from 4th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues in Park Slope. According to her email, the street “is blocked off with huge Police trucks, an DEP truck, firemen, cops, and people in Hazmat suits. Looked like they were all in front of one particular brownstone.” Anyone have any…
A reader just sent in this photo from 4th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues in Park Slope. According to her email, the street “is blocked off with huge Police trucks, an DEP truck, firemen, cops, and people in Hazmat suits. Looked like they were all in front of one particular brownstone.” Anyone have any more details? Update: According to the NY Press, a 65-year-old man was found dead at 401 4th Street with “a clear, white liquid believed to be cyanide.” A NYPD spokesman says they don’t suspect any criminality, but the medical examiner is still checking it out.

This is an extremely sad story. Thoughts are with the family.
That’s it, I’m never moving to Bed Stuy! Too dangerous! Park Slope moms wilding after dark!
I have no problem with Brownstoner posting the story. I wrote that they should be ashamed for not deleting the comments posted by the ghouls who populate the Comments section.
You people need to relax. A hazmat team on a local block in a well-known neighborhood is a public interest story. In this case, however, it was a tragic private matter. Brownstoner didn’t know that before the story was posted. It was and is news. It’ll be all over the media.
That was my neighbor, you fucking trolls. You sick bastards hiding behind your keyboards and computer screens can all go to hell.
And Brownstoner should be ashamed to allow such comments.
So now personal tragegy is fodder for Brownstoner. Despicable beyond words. Like a tabloid groping for attention. I’m sure it will give the unknown family and friends additional comfort to know how readily their anguish was exploited. Just because it is the city doesn’t mean that people don’t deserve privacy and dignity.
apparently being anonymous kills humor.
I thought we found the WMDs.
So, a fed up park slope wife of unknown race poisoned her jewish husband.
