A Court of Appeals judge was found dead in the Hudson River Wednesday afternoon.
The NYPD says Sheila Abdus-Salaam was found dead by police near West 132nd Street around 1:45 p.m.
She was reported missing on Tuesday.
Officials say she had no obvious signs of trauma. They are working to determine a cause of death.
Abdus-Salaam was the first African-American woman, and the first Muslim, to serve on the Court of Appeals. She was appointed by Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2013.

It’s horrifying to know that this is exactly the type of person Big Pharma/Money/Corporations would want dead. My sincerest heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues she left behind.
Very strange considering that another black judge in Chicago was murdered on Monday.
this is the second black judge killed in a matter of days, both under highly suspicious circumstances. of course this could be random, but, if you know how few black judges there are in america….it seems at least speaking statistically, quite odd.
