New Details in Mysterious Death of 25-Year-Old NYC Volunteer
Authorities have ruled the death of a woman who was found in a Staten Island park late last month a homicide, though no details have emerged about who killed her -- or why.
The body of Ola Salem, of Staten Island, was found on a Thursday morning in October near Pleasant Plains' Bloomingdale Park. Salem, 25, was fully clothed but unconscious when she was found in a wooded area around 9:30 a.m. Oct 24.
No arrests have been made, and no cause of death has been released.
When her body was first identified, friends and loved ones were shattered, describing Salem as a "beautiful soul" with an infectious laugh. She worked at a shelter for Muslim women in Brooklyn and was the group's first ever volunteer.
People who work there said she dedicated her life to protecting victims of domestic violence -- and those who knew and loved Salem were stunned by her death.
The investigation is ongoing.
