Police are hunting for a man who was captured on surveillance video copulating with a deceased male passenger in a New York City subway car and then robbing the corpse.

When police examined surveillance footage, they found that the deceased man originally boarded the subway car around 8 p.m., lit a cigarette given to him by another passenger, and filled the car with smoke, compelling other passengers to leave the car. The man then died of unknown causes.
Surveillance footage then revealed that around 11 p.m. another man, aged in his 50s, stepped into the car, found the deceased man, took items out of the deceased man’s pockets, and proceeded to have oral and rectal intercourse with his corpse before leaving the subway car about an hour later.
