I dedicated my yoga practice to this man in critical shape (I thought he was dead)  and the woman that died although I have not heard confirmation that she died from a beating she took from a group of boys or young man in Tompkins -- now I hear she died from drug overdose but I still don't have any info was she beaten and hit on the head and did it contribute to her death?

Are we seeing a pattern here of more street violence?

 I heard she went home and died later possible like a Natasha Richardson head injury but no confirmation.  This man was beaten on the street West Village.

I dedicated my practice to all those that die death by violence and to their families and loved ones.

Just heard the woman died from drug overdose but I wondered if she had sustained head injuries in Tompkins Square Park and if so did this contribute to her death in any way?

I don't know.  I don't have the facts.  Only rumors like both victims had been attacked by teenagers but now I hear her death was related to drugs as if her presence in the park had no relation at all...I don't know.
