For weeks, a poster on the white tiled wall inside the 205th Street D train station has asked for information regarding the mysterious death of a 48-year-old man named Sangh Shingeia.
On Feb. 20, police found Shingeia unconscious and unresponsive near the entrance to the D train station near 206th Street and Bainbridge Avenue.
According the Medical Examiner’s report, he was taken to Montefiore Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries, which included multiple skull and rib fractures, according to Montefiore doctors.
Shingeia was also severely intoxicated, doctors said.
Shingeia survived for five days in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, but finally succumbed to his injuries and died on Feb. 25.
Shingeia was believed to be homeless and frequented Part of the Solution (POTS), a soup kitchen on Webster Avenue.
It’s unclear if police are treating this as a homicide, but doctors said it appeared that Shingeia had been severely beaten.
Calls to the 52nd Precinct and the Transit Robbery Unit were not returned by press time.
