After falling down stairs with baby in Subway, Woman dies

New York, Jan 30: A woman carrying shopping bags, a pram and her 1-year-old baby died on Monday after falling down the arrival of stairs in a New York subway station, officials said.

The woman, Malaysia Goodson of Stamford was found unconscious at about 8 p.m. on Monday night in a stairwell of a subway station on Seventh Avenue and 53rd Street, police said. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.

Lt. Paul Ng, a spokesman for the New York Police Department, said Goodson was carrying her baby, who was unharmed, in her arms. Some media reports said Goodson was carrying the child in a stroller.

Dieshe Goodson, Malaysia s brother said that his sister had been in Manhattan for a shopping trip, saying she had a lot of bags with her in addition to the stroller.



It was not immediately clear whether Goodson was affected by any other medical condition. The medical examiner s office, which is investigating the death, did not immediately respond to a request for information.

Goodson s death drew an ample attention Tuesday. The disability groups have increasingly pointed to the system s accessibility issues for those in wheelchairs or who need to use elevators for other reasons. The station where Goodson was found has no elevators, only two escalators that head up to the street from the subway platforms, the MTA said.
