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.

A Brooklyn man was indicted by a Queens grand jury on charges of manslaughter, drunk driving and other crimes for a fatal collision in Astoria that killed his long-time girlfriend and mother of their young child in February.

Ray Perez, 27, of Caton Avenue in Flatbush, was arraigned Thursday in Queens Supreme Court on a 13-count indictment charging him with vehicular manslaughter for allegedly speeding through a stop sign in Astoria, colliding with another vehicle and slamming into two parked cars, and then driving nearly four miles away to a street in Maspeth before seeking help for his 29-year-old girlfriend Bridget Enriquez, who later succumbed to her injuries.
