BRONXVILLE, N.Y. (WPIX) - A 15-year-old high school student apparently on her way to mail a Christmas package was found dead on the side of a road in Bronxville Wednesday morning. cPassers-by found the teenager lying at the end of Christ Church's circular driveway at Sagamore Road near Prescott Avenue at 11:45 a.m.
The girl sustained injuries to her head and arm, and the Bronxville Police Department is investigating the possibility of if the victim fell or was hit by a vehicle.
"We're not ruling out foul play at this point," stated Bronxville Police Sgt. Tony DeLeo.
According to DeLeo and church caretaker Noel Desmond, the girl was carrying a package or envelope and appeared to be walking to the local post office on Pondfield Road.
Desmond said someone else at the scene found the return address on the package and ran to the nearby address to alert the girl's parents.
The post office is across the street from Bronxville High School, where the teenager was a student.
It is unclear why the girl was running the errand at the time of her death. According to the school's calendar of events, early dismissal for the high school was at 1:30 p.m on Wednesday.
The school began its Christmas vacation on Thursday and classes resume on January 4, 2010.
The victim's name was not immediately released.
The investigation is ongoing and the Bronxville Police Department urges anyone with information to call (914) 337-0500.
