Witnesses reported that the cronut line outside of Dominique Ansel Bakery in SoHo had to be rerouted after a dead man was found on a bench near the bakery earlier this morning.

Just watched police relocate the line of people waiting for Cronuts so they could remove a dead body from a nearby bench. — Molly Young (@magicmolly) July 22, 2016

A police spokesperson confirmed that the body of a 47-year-old man was recovered near 189 Spring Street, and that the medical examiner will be determining the cause of death. One witness to the scene tweeted that the people waiting for cronuts were undeterred by the grisly discovery.

Only mildly surprised that the very visible dead body of a homeless person seemed to not phase the thirty people in the cronut line. — Molly Pohlig (@poppycockltd) July 22, 2016

Molly Pohlig, a witness to the scene, told us that the covered body on the bench was curled up in a way that suggested the man had been sleeping on the bench when he died. She also told us that "The line had already been diverted by the time I walked past, which seemed to suggest that people were continuing to show up, see what was going on, and not be all that bothered by it."
