An 11-year-old boy was tragically found dead at an Upper East Side migrant shelter on Monday evening. The child was discovered unconscious in the lobby of the Stratford Arms Hotel with a shoelace around his neck. Despite being rushed to Roosevelt Hospital, the young boy was pronounced dead upon arrival. The hotel initially was home to single asylum seekers but transitioned to accommodate migrant families in September. While police are continuing their investigation into this tragic incident, they are also waiting for the medical examiner to determine the exact cause of death. This heartbreaking loss, occurring in a migrant shelter, raises concerns and draws attention to the issues facing migrant families. The community is grieving the loss of a young life, and we are waiting for more information as the investigation continues.
