The police are investigating the death of a 17-year-old girl who died under mysterious circumstances outside her Fresh Meadows home early Monday.

Yixuan Yin was discovered by a parent lying on the grass in front of the family home at 75-49 186th St. at around 1:15 a.m., according to police.

Yin had not returned home from running errands and the parent came across her body after going outside to look for her, police said.

She was transferred to New York-Presbyterian Queens by EMS where she was pronounced dead.

There were no obvious signs of trauma on her body, according to the New York Daily News.

The Medical Examiner will ultimately determine the cause of death once an autopsy is completed, police said.

No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing.

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
