A woman with “trauma about the body” was found dead in a Brooklyn home early Saturday morning, according to police.

Police responded to a 911 call for an unconscious and unresponsive woman inside of 175 Minna St. in Kensington just after 5 a.m., cops said.

The unidentified victim, 27, was declared dead at the scene, police said.

Neighbors told The Post that the woman had been crashing in the first-floor apartment with two other men for several days.

A neighbor claimed detectives told her the victim was from the Bronx and was planning on staying at a homeless shelter until the men offered her the chance to stay with them so she could avoid living with drug addicts.

Another neighbor told The Post, citing police, that one of the two men was responsible for making the 911 call, but that both men were home at the time.

“I had never seen the girl before. I only saw the guy,” said a bartender and father-of-two who lived on the same floor as the pair of men. He was not home when police were called to the scene.

He and an older man who lives upstairs said they knew both men, but that one was particularly “cool with everyone.”

The neighbor, however, disagreed — saying that she felt uneasy around the pair, who she described as a “tall Hispanic guy and a chunky dark-skinned one,” the latter of whom she said had previously harassed her.

“They’re shady. They would flirt with me. One of them followed me on his motorcycle and said, ‘I think you’re pretty. I want a girlfriend,'” she continued.

The two men moved into the Kensington home last year and spent most of their time fixing motorcycles and cars — which the neighbor theorized were stolen.

“They were always shady and creepy. I always thought — especially this one — that they were creepy and that they would kidnap someone,” she said.

The woman’s cause of death will be determined by the city Medical Examiner’s office.

No additional details were immediately available and the investigation was ongoing, police said.
