The body of a 53-year-old woman, identified as Maxine Messem, of Bridgeport, Conn., was dropped off by two females around 1:50 a.m. on Tuesday at NYC Health & Hospitals, Jacobi Medical Center, a spokesperson with the New York City Police Department told Inside Edition Digital. 

The victim was found partially dressed and naked from the waist down, a police source said, the New York Daily News reported.

Police confirmed with Inside Edition Digital that the woman had a number of butt injections, but did not disclose details about the substance found in the injection.

The two women told police that they found the woman near Woodlawn Cemetery, according to The New York Post. They claimed that she appeared in distress and needed help, and drove her to the hospital, in her car, police said, the news outlet reported.
