The 68-year-old woman allegedly killed and dismembered by a Brooklyn octogenarian and twice-convicted killer died of "homicidal violence," the city's medical examiner said Saturday.

Susan Leyden, who's cause of death included blunt force trauma of the head, was living in an LGBTQ+ elder housing community in Fort Greene at the time of her death, police sources have said.

Harvey Marcelin, an 83-year-old who spent decades in prison for two prior convictions in the deaths of other women, was been indicted in the death of Leyden. She was seen on video sitting on top of a human leg while riding around a store in a motorized scooter and allegedly killing Leyden and disposing of her torso on the street, cops said earlier this month.
