Lara Prychenko, 48, was found dead on Tuesday afternoon, stuffed in a trash compactor at a 29-story condominium tower in Manhattan, according to the NYPD. Her death is a mystery, and the story quickly gained attention because Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin owned an apartment there. Here’s what we know so far about Prychenko and what happened. 1. Lara Prychenko Was a Resident of the Zeckendorf Towers, Where an Employee Found Her Body
A building employee found Lara Prychenko stuffed inside a trash compactor early on Tuesday night, ABC News reported. She was later identified by police as a resident of the Zeckendorf Towers and had been living there for six months. She was found unconscious and unresponsive, according to police, and pronounced dead at the scene. The building is at 1 Irving Place near Union Square. (Note: The Daily Mail is reporting her name as Lara Prychodko, but the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information for the NYPD confirmed with Heavy that the woman’s name is Lara Prychenko.)
Residents only found out something was wrong when they received a strange email from building management telling them not to use the trash chute, CBS New York reported.
Nicki Leitner told CBS New York: ““It’s scary. In fact, when I texted my boyfriend about this he told me to get out of the building cause he was worried, as was I. But it was so hush-hush.” 2. She Was Seen on Surveillance Video Entering the Trash Compactor Room Alone
Prychenko was seen on surveillance video entering the building’s trash compactor room alone, CBS New York reported. The surveillance video has not been released, but it showed her walking down the hallway like nothing was wrong, New York Daily News reported. 3. Prychenko Fell Down the Chute from the 27th Floor
It’s not clear what happened, but a co-worker of the employee who found Prychenko told New York Daily News that she had fallen down the chute and “slid down like garbage.” The employee said that she fell all the way from the 27th floor. The building is 29 stories tall.
Her purse was founded by the building’s elevator. 4. Police Said They Don’t Know if Her Death Was an Accident, But Said They’re Not Looking for Suspects
Police said they were trying to determine if Prychenko’s death was intentional or accidental, ABC 7 reported. However, they said they are not looking for suspects.
The building’s doorman told New York Daily News that she was a happy and pleasant person. “She went up to her apartment and then she jumped into the chute,” was the doorman’s guess about what happened.
Prychenko’s body was found Tuesday around 4:55 p.m., officials said. 5. Anthony Weiner & Huma Abedin Owned an Apartment There That They Listed for Rent in 2017
The story quickly gained national attention when people connected the building to Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin. Weiner and Abedin have owned an apartment in the building for 16 years, Daily Mail reported. It was listed for rent for $11,900 a month on May 19, 2017, the day that Weiner pleaded guilty to sexting and he and Abedin filed for divorce. This listing was taken down a few days later, and it wasn’t clear if it was taken off the market or if a renter was found.
Zeckendorf is a luxury condo complex at Irving Place and E. 15th St. Studio apartments rent for about $3,000 a month, and the cheapest studio for sale is priced at about $995,000, ABC 11 reported. A two-bedroom, two-bath can cost about $3.25 million. This is a developing story.

Add another to the Clinton Arkancide Book...
Perhaps she fainted and fell into the chute?
[stuffed inside a trash compactor]
BION I believe this was in one of the “Hot Shots!” movies.
Every condo I’ve been in that has a trash shoot has a door that shuts as soon as you let go of the handle.
You would have to hold it open and climb in (plus be pretty small) to make it work.
I’m sure the Keystone Cops will get right on this.
Curiouser and Curiouser ....................
Vic has a Russian surname as does the building.
Just sayin’.
Most are spring loaded and child resistant.....................
She went into the trash cute, but her purse went over to the elevator.
Yep. No reason to suspect anything.

O.K., call me crazy but I’m thinking the purse did it and was trying to escape. It had to stop walking when somebody noticed it was by the elevator.
Check the phone in the purse and see if it called Uber....
42,000 apartment buildings in NYC and this happens in the apt building where Huma lives. What are the chances.
Kids in NYC housing projects used to ride the tops of elevators for thrills. You never know....
She was 48...................
By Jove! I think you’ve got it!
“What are the chances.”
If she was known or suspected of witnessing something harmful to The Clinton Crime Family or the DNC in general, then about 100%.
Thinning the grand jury appearance herd.
Any name that ends in -chenko is usually Ukrainian.
Arkancide for sure.
[42,000 apartment buildings in NYC and this happens in the apt building where Huma lives. What are the chances.]
Well, if those numbers are accurate, I’d say 1 in 42,000.
Which is why I say she must have found a handwritten not from Hillary to Huma.
I’m kidding. At least I think I’m kidding.
Huma was already gone, BTW.
I knew reading those Sherlock Holmes novels would help!
