The unconscious woman was rushed to the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center with body trauma but she was pronounced dead.

He added: ‘I went outside and I saw the lady laying on the ground on her back. Her head was to the [fence] and her feet were towards [the store]. I saw them putting her on the stretcher…she was not moving.
‘This is sad. I feel sorry for the husband. He was crying, he was upset.’
