Narrative
On december 17, 2010 gas distribution services supervisor paul smith reported to the gas emergency response center that presicion pipeline services contractor dan schweigert found a dead body in apartment 1-r at 554 w 113 street while performing a meter exchange. Supervisor smith reported that after exchanging the gas meter supplying cooking gas to this apartment, schweigart entered the apartment with access provided by the building's superintendent and found the resident had passed away. Because the integrity test had failed and no information was available as to the cause of death at the time of discovery, it was determined to report this condition as "gas may be involved" . Upon completion of the n.Y.C medical examiner dunn's examination at the scene, it was determined gas was not involved and death was from natural causes. The 82 year old occupant of apt. 1-r was ruled to have deceased approximately one (1) week earlier. Emergency response group palmer reported the cooking line supplying 8 apartments failed the integrity test and as a result the meter was left off, locked, tagged and holding. This report is for record purposes only. Natural gas was not involved.
