An 83-year-old woman was found dead inside a car sitting in a long-term parking lot of John F. Kennedy International Airport on Thursday afternoon, according to authorities and sources.
Port Authority police received a report of an unresponsive woman in her vehicle at long-term parking lot 9 of JFK airport near Aqueduct Road and Lefferts Boulevard in Jamaica at around 2:10 p.m., according to the PAPD.
The elderly woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Cops were alerted when she was spotted in her car on Thursday afternoon in the same position she was seen in earlier in the day, according to sources.
Photos from the scene showed a body covered with a sheet on the ground beside the open door of a white car.
EMS responded to the lot after cops broke the car window and made the grisly discovery, cops and sources said.
The woman’s car was last seen running on Sept. 30, sources added.
A section of the parking lot remains closed, but there are no other impacts to airport operations or traffic in the surrounding area, police added.
Additional details about the woman, including her ID, were not immediately available.
The medical examiner will determine her cause of death.
