Migrant man found hanged in NYC park was suspected of repeatedly raping underage relative: sources

The dead man found hanged from a tree inside a Bronx park last month is a migrant suspected of repeatedly raping a teen relative, law enforcement sources told The Post Thurday.

Manuel Delgado, 43 — an asylum seeker from Peru who had lived in the city for less than a year — is believed to have taken his own life inside Pelham Bay Park on Oct. 9 after his family found out about his alleged ongoing relationship with the teen and reported it to police, the sources said.

Investigators advised the girl to call Delgado while the conversation was being taped, according to the sources.
