Man Found Dead at Russian Consulate: Police

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Police are investigating a death at the Russian Consulate on the Upper East Side after a man's body was found there Tuesday morning.

Police responded to the consulate, located at 9 E. 91st St., around 6:56 a.m. and found a man who was unconscious and unresponsive, police said. The man, 63, was suffering from trauma to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS, police said.

The Medical Examiner and NYPD are still investigating the circumstances around the death, and the man has not been identified, police said.

No arrests have been made as of Tuesday morning, police said.

The death at the Russian Consulate occurred — most likely coincidentally — on Election Day during an election where a Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton has accused Russian officials of hacking her email server and the email server of the Democratic National Convention in order to influence the vote.

The other major party candidate, Republican Donald Trump, openly encouraged Russians to hack U.S. officials before claiming that he was just joking.
