Story summary

Bryan Wong, a 25-year-old man with autism who was nonverbal, died on October 11, 2026, after being found with multiple slash wounds to his wrists and neck in his home in Woodside, Queens. Police ruled the death a homicide but have not yet made an arrest or identified a suspect. The victim's father discovered Bryan around 8 a.m. on Wednesday, calling 911 upon finding him mortally wounded on a pull-out couch. Three knives were recovered from the scene.

Approximately four hours earlier, around 4 a.m, Bryan’s mother, Suk Kuen Wong, 61, was found with serious injuries under the Van Wyck Expressway in Corona, Queens. She had jumped off the highway and suffered a fractured pelvis and femur but is now hospitalized in stable condition. Law enforcement sources are investigating if she may have been involved in her son's death, though no definitive cause has been established yet.
