Authorities are looking into the cause of death of a 73-year-old woman who was found dead on block away from her Ridgewood home yesterday.

Police say they found Ramona Aponte, who lived near Centre Street and Myrtle Avenue, unconscious and unresponsive outside 956 Seneca Ave. after responding to a 911 call at around 6:08 a.m. on Feb. 4.

She was transported by EMS to Wyckoff Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

Aponte is believed to suffer from dementia, an NYPD spokesperson said, and the incident is being investigated by the 104th Precinct as a possible crime.

The cause of death is also being determined by the city’s Medical Examiner.

Holden calls out Mayor Adams—will he reopen ICE office on Rikers Island and tackle migrant crime?

One day after Mayor Eric Adams expressed his willingness to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration on addressing the migrant crisis and signaled a readiness to meet with former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) head Tom Homan, Council Member Robert Holden called on the mayor to reopen the ICE office on Rikers Island.

Holden, who represents District 30 in Queens, which encompasses Maspeth, Middle Village, and parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, Elmhurst, and Rego Park, has been advocating for changes to the city’s sanctuary policies since July. In a letter, he previously urged the mayor to roll back laws that restrict local law enforcement agencies—including the NYPD, Department of Correction, and Department of Probation—from cooperating with ICE.
