22 yo NYU student / Lazard summer intern fatally struck in NYC subway
Woman fatally struck by NYC subway was Lazard summer intern, NYU student: https://nypost.com/2022/06/29/woman-fatally-struc…
The 22-year-old woman fatally struck by a subway at Grand Central Station late Tuesday was an intern at white-shoe investment bank Lazard and an undergraduate student at NYU Stern School of Business, The Post has learned.
The woman was returning to Manhattan after attending a New York Mets game with Lazard colleagues, sources told The Post.
In a statement to The Post, a spokeswoman for Lazard confirmed the woman had been working at the bank’s New York office in Rockefeller Center.
“Lazard is devastated about the tragic death of our colleague. The loss of someone so early in life is unimaginable. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and her Lazard colleagues.”
Litquidity, a social media account that’s closely watched by financial types, first posted about the Lazard connection on Instagram.
The woman, whose name has not been officially released, fell onto the tracks and was hit by a southbound 7 train at 10:40 p.m. Tuesday, The Post reported.
First responders tried to resuscitate the woman but she died on the scene about an hour after being struck, according to police. It’s unclear what caused the woman to fall onto the subway tracks.
Lazard sent a note on Wednesday informing employees about the woman’s death, a source told The Post.
The tragedy comes just a month after Goldman Sachs employee Daniel Enriquez, who had worked at the bank’s Global Investment Research division, was brutally shot on a Manhattan-bound Q train on his way to brunch. Goldman chief executive David Solomon called the incident “devastating” and a “senseless tragedy” in a statement to bank employees.
Goldman Sachs slashed a slew of pandemic-era perks that included free Ubers to and from headquarters in Lower Manhattan prior to the killing of Enriquez.
Lazard declined to comment on whether it provides transportation perks to employees.
Devastating and can’t imagine what her family must be going through. RIP
May she RIP. Can't imagine what her family as well as the colleagues who were with her are feeling, I used to watch a lot of gore videos but seeing that in person would scar even me for life.
Feelings of guilt must be overwhelming especially for ever suggested the trip even though it wasn't their fault. Hope they get the right mental help through all this.
She had to have been pushed right just like Michelle Go? Nobody just falls on the tracks and she was also an Asian American female.
Litquidity says she tripped… i also think its highly unlikely. Who would walk/run clumsily towards an incoming train?
She was coming back from a Mets game and it was 11pm so being drunk and tripping would have been my first guess tbh
How do you know she was Asian American?
Name is public now
Click the article OP cited. They updated the name.
Obviously this is a tragedy and I don't want to speak ill of the dead. But there is nothing to indicate (so far) that she was pushed. Coming home from a night out at the Mets game - perhaps alcohol is in this story somewhere?
Article was updated. It sounds like she fell onto the tracks after fainting.

This is so sad to hear
Another 1 bites the dust
This is why I stand far back from the tracks.
Same
In our country, we have shields blocking the gap between the tracks and the platform. How in the hell does New York City, one of the wealthiest city in the world, not have these protective shields installed? Someone please explain
Obviously because it’s a much older subway line dating back over a hundred years. And generally people don’t need to be coddled to the extent you’re suggesting
Tammany Hall style Corruption. Tax funds being diverted for personal causes.
u must live in Narnia or some shit that's fucking retarded
does this look retarded to you? this is a no brainer on subway stations imo
