An autopsy will be carried out today to determine how the woman died.
Liam Armstrong was killed on his 18th birthday as he crossed the tracks at 79th and Broadway
Her death comes less than two weeks after Liam Armstrong was killed by a No.2 express train on his 18th birthday.
Liam was hit by the train after he and two friends dared each other to cross the tracks at 79th and Broadway on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
His leg was severed and he died of severe head injuries, authorities said.
The three friends had mistakenly boarded a northbound No.1 train as they tried to make their way to Greenwich Village.
Instead of crossing the tracks above ground at 79th they dared each other to run across the tracks.
One friend had successfully reached the other side and another had yet to cross when Liam was hit.
On Saturday, a 50-year-old man also died after being hit by a train as he climbed down the tracks to pick something up.
He was hit by the southbound D train at the 72nd Street and Central Park West subway station.
Warning signs posted around the station warn people not to climb onto the tracks if they lose something.
