New Orleans Police blocked Lafayette Street adjacent to the Ace Hotel Tuesday afternoon (June 27) after authorities said a body was found in an alley beside the hotel.

New Orleans police spokeswoman Dawne Massey confirmed police were investigating the "unclassified death" near the hotel at 600 Carondelet Street, where two NOPD vehicles were blocking the entrance to Lafayette Street at Carondelet. Police vehicles were also positioned at Lafayette near the intersection of St. Charles Avenue.

Police inside of the gated alleyway used bins to block the body from the view of the public as residents and tourists passed by the scene in the afternoon. Some stood by and watched as a coroner's van arrived at the scene minutes before 1 p.m.

One way to keep the murder rate down in New Orleans is just to classify everything as an "Unclassified death"

Chicken really needs a nola crime board. There are a lot of stories no doubt these days, but the obsession with the subject is insane. This one sounds to me like a suicide though.

I'm no detective, but I think that's a security camera above their heads.

Juarez is not as bad as it used to be. New Orleans will pass it up in a few years.

Not many. Could have shot himself or a drug overdose

Probably just a bum that OD'd. That is a security gate that leads into high end condo's off St. Charles.

NOLA has a higher murder rate than Juarez.

I think the number of "Unclassified Deaths" as of last week for 2017 was close to 130.

Until the Oznam Inn moves to a more appropriate location, this type of crap will keep happening.

I'm not aware of many instances of this happening in that area.

If that police person walking through the gate is an accurate physical representation of the NOPD; no wonder the thugs run the city.

I can't even tell if that's a man or woman.

Someone gets murdered and the NOPD is nowhere to be found. You park illegally and you'll be towed or ticketed within 10 minutes.
