http://www.nola.co...ndoned_city_h.html The Orleans Parish Coroner's Office is attempting to determine what caused the death of a young woman found in a vacant building on Canal Street that once was used as a City Hall annex.
Her body was discovered about 9 a.m. Thursday, said John Gagliano, chief investigator for the Coroner's Office.
She appears to be in her 20s, he speculated.
Gagliano declined to discuss in detail the condition of the body, but noted she probably died recently.
Homeless people have been known to live in the building at 2400 Canal Street.
