Foul odor at NYC school leads police to body hidden in chimney

Human remains were discovered in the chimney of a public school in Queens, New York, during an investigation into a foul odor. The body was found at P.S./I.S. 113 Anthony J. Pranzo shortly before 9 a.m., and the city's medical examiner has taken custody of the remains to determine the cause of death. No students or staff were present at the time, as the school was closed for summer and under construction. Contractors had been working on-site, and authorities are checking if all workers have been accounted for. The New York Daily News reported that permits were obtained for various construction tasks. The City Department of Education expressed concern over the discovery.
