Man Found Dead at Elmhurst Hostel: NYPD

Kamway Lodge | Google Maps

Aug. 22, 2019 By Allie Griffin

A man was found dead last night inside an Elmhurst building, according to police — which was apparently operating as a hostel. 

On Aug. 21 at about 8:30 p.m., police were called to a building at 40-36 77th Street due to a report of an unconscious man inside a room on the first floor. The man was unresponsive and was pronounced dead on scene, police said. 

The address of the building is listed on several booking websites as “Kamway Lodge” and a night’s stay costs around $89 with guests sharing rooms. 

The medical examiner will determine the cause of death. The NYPD hasn’t released the identity of the individual, as it’s pending family notification.

This is a private house not a hotel or hostel. The Asian at the front desk doesn’t speak english well . It looks more like a brothel in China town .

Op-Ed | Hochul: Action is Imperative on Shoplifting, but Violent Crime is Just Fine

Negotiations regarding the New York State budget have just concluded a few days ago and a budget has passed after more than two weeks of delays. But while Gov. Kathy Hochul has proclaimed this year’s ‘bold agenda’ aims to make New York ‘safer,’ there hasn’t been so much as a whisper about the safety issue New Yorkers actually care about – New York States’s dangerous bail reform laws and the State’s absence of a ‘dangerousness standard,’ which would allow judges to detain without bail those defendants that pose a present a clear and present danger to our communities. (The 49 other states and the federal government have a dangerousness standard. NY State is the only state that lacks this essential protection from the State’s most dangerous offenders.)
