The police are investigating the death of a 17-year-old girl who died under mysterious circumstances outside her Fresh Meadows home early Monday.

Yixuan Yin was discovered by a parent lying on the grass in front of the family home at 75-49 186th St. at around 1:15 a.m., according to police.

Yin had not returned home from running errands and the parent came across her body after going outside to look for her, police said.

The police were called to the scene and upon arrival, officers observed Yin unconscious and unresponsive, cops said.

She was transferred to New York-Presbyterian Queens by EMS where she was pronounced dead.

There were no obvious signs of trauma on her body, according to the New York Daily News.

The Medical Examiner will ultimately determine the cause of death once an autopsy is completed, police said.

No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing.

Eastern Queens Greenway project connecting local parks gets $6 million in City Council funding

The Eastern Queens Greenway plan is a step closer to fruition after Council Member Sandra Ung joined Speaker Adrienne Adams in Kissena Park on Oct. 2, where they announced $6 million in funding to complete two sections of the greenway that will create a seamless connection between Flushing Meadows Corona Park and Alley Pond Park.

“We are fortunate in Eastern Queens to have a number of amazing parks, but in many places they are physically close but disconnected from one another,” Ung said. “This funding will create new connections and improve existing ones to create a continuous and safe path from Flushing Meadows to Alley Pond and beyond. These projects will increase access points to our open spaces, which in turn will make them safer for seniors, families, and those with mobility impairments.”
