Police were investigating as a homicide yesterday the mysterious sexual assault and death of a 43-year-old Feltonville [trans woman].
The [woman], identified as [deadname] Brodie, was found by police shortly before 2:30 am. Saturday lying unconscious on the sidewalk of 19th Street near Champlost Avenue in West Oak Lane, police said. [She] was wearing women's clothing.
BRODIE, WHO lived in a second floor apartment on G Street near Wyoming Avenue, was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center, Northern Division, where [she] was pronounced dead eight hours later without regaining consciousness.
Police said Brodie was a married man and the author of pornographic articles, but neighbors said they had assumed [she] was a woman named "Barbara Brodie" until they learned of [her] death.
