A pioneering judge, who became the first Muslim woman in US history to serve on the bench, was found dead Wednesday — washed up on the Manhattan side of the Hudson River, sources said. Modal Trigger Sheila Abdus-SalaamAP
Sheila Abdus-Salaam, 65, was discovered floating in the water near 132nd Street and Hudson Parkway at around 1:45 p.m., according to police sources.
Witnesses had spotted her fully clothed body and called 911, cops said.
Sources told The Post that Abdus-Salaam, who is an associate judge of the Court of Appeals, had been reported missing from her home in Harlem earlier in the day.
Her husband later identified her body. Sources said it showed no obvious signs of trauma or injuries indicating criminality or foul play, and that her death appeared to be a suicide.
“Justice Sheila Abdus-Salaam was a trailblazing jurist whose life in public service was in pursuit of a more fair and more just New York for all,” Gov. Cuomo wrote in a statement Wednesday night.
“She was a pioneer,” he said. “Through her writings, her wisdom, and her unshakable moral compass, she was a force for good whose legacy will be felt for years to come. I was proud to appoint her to the state’s highest court and am deeply saddened by her passing.”
In addition to being the country’s first Muslim female judge, Abdus-Salaam was the first ever African-American woman to be appointed to the state’s Court of Appeals.
After receiving her degree from Columbia Law School, she began her legal career working as a staff attorney at East Brooklyn Legal Services. Abdus-Salaam rose through the state ranks before eventually being elected to the Supreme Court in 1993.
She was then appointed to the Court of Appeals by Cuomo in 2013.

Polluting the environment, whether dead or alive
‘force for good’
Maybe, now.
She courted death with every sentence ....may have spent too much time at the bar....
Muslim men do not take kindly to being judged by a Muslim woman....Or ANY woman for that matter...
Her current and future dockets need to be examined. Black women and Muslim women do not commit suicide.
is there a shortage of cement in New York?
A good Muslim...
Meanwhile, they still haven't located Judge Crater.

>she was a force for good
The only kind of person that can follow islam AND can be “a force for good” is a Jekyll and Hyde.
No thanks. Not when they are in our government.
State court, so the governor would pick a replacement.
I suspect this was an "honor suicide" - "Fearless Girl" meets Mudslime Sociopath Killers.
Thanks ... I missed that and asked to remove my mistake.
New York State Court of Appeals (highest court in the state). Appointed by the Governor (Cuomo).
Your Honor killing?
(tip of the hat to the FReeper I stole that from)
Abdus-Salaam was the first ever African-American, Muslim, female, 65 YO judge to drown in the Hudson River. And more than likely the last.
