NEW YORK — A woman was pronounced dead after being found on fire inside a subway car in Brooklyn on Sunday morning, and police said that “criminality is suspected” in the death.

Police officers responded just before 7:30 a.m. to a report of a woman on fire in the middle car of a stationary F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department said.
