Not in reference to any fire but what happened on Waverly and 57th Street on Sunday night? I came home and there were about 5 cop cars and a coroner van. I didn't stick around to get details but I would like to know what happened right down the street since it includes a coroner.
None of the news websites has anything about it, does anyone know?
