The gory discovery was made by a passerby who noticed two feet sticking out of the carpet on the sidewalk outside of the chain coffee joint at the corner of West 145th Street and Bradhurst Avenue just before 6 a.m., cops said.

The witness quickly called the police who found the unconscious and unresponsive man with signs of head trauma wrapped in a cardboard box inside of the carpet, authorities said.

Medics responded and the man – whose identity was not immediately known – was pronounced dead at the scene.

“We’re treating it at this point as a homicide,”

...

A red Target shopping cart was found on Bradhurst Avenue — around the corner from where the body was discovered — and marked as evidence by police.

Investigators believe the cart played a role in moving the body, according to a cop source.

Anybody seen Andy McCabe?

[a fool in paradise]

Dust his vomit for Hillary’s fingerprints.

Wondering if the corpse is approximately the same height and weight as McCabe . . . a suicide test run, so to speak.

“We’re treating it at this point as a homicide,”

He might have rolled himself up in a carpet and passed away naturally...

[jonascord]

Suicides normally roll themselves up in carpets after beating themselves to death, in front of a Starbucks...

Bit puzzled about all the fuss.

[Spacetrucker]

Dont forget that he shot himself in the back of the head 5 times before he rolled himself up.

[EEGator]

Or maybe a correctional officer from MCC.

Starbucks just asks you to leave in Philadelphia.

[EEGator]

Probably suicidal like Vince was...

[Spacetrucker]

Dont forget Ron Brown.

[a fool in paradise]

This is a robbery gone wrong. Nothing taken. Red carpet left behind.

[BenLurkin]

"Of course. Why didn't I think of that?"

[PGR88]

“We’re treating it at this point as a homicide,”

That's good, because people often accidently find themselves on street corners after wrapping themselves in carpets and then cardboard boxes

[Ken H]

Probably not what most people have in mind when they think of the red carpet treatment.

[Deaf Smith]

Well, he did get the Red Carpet treatment.

Very Hollywood like.

He may have been a Celeb.

Red carpet. Red target shopping cart. If I keep reading, will I find a red MAGA hat?

[Major Matt Mason]

Vince Foster was a trend-setter.

[Deplorable American1776]

Police is treating it as a homicide...

What lead you to call it a homicide? Was is because the body was wrapped in a red carpet?

[Jane Long]

Lucky that he was ‘discovered’.

Have a friend who knew someone that worked at a Starbucks in B’lynn. On her first day of work, a guy died outside of the shop, on the sidewalk. No one even noticed the dead guy, until late that evening.

Everyone just walked past him, all day. :(
