Funeral arrangements have been set in Westchester County for a woman who died after falling into an open manhole in New York City.
Donike Gocaj, 56, of Briarcliff Manor, was identified as the victim.
A wake will be held Thursday from 3 to 8 p.m. at Yorktown Funeral Home in Shrub Oak. A funeral mass is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at Our Lady of Shkodra Church in Hartsdale.
Police said Gocaj parked her car Monday, got out and stepped into an uncovered manhole.
Officers found her unresponsive. She was taken to a hospital, where she died.
A Con Edison spokesperson said a large truck drove over the manhole about 12 minutes before the incident, causing the cover to come off.
