A New York City Police Department spokesman said police responding to an emergency call made around 6:30 p.m.

He was taken to Bellevue Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said, adding that an investigation was ongoing.

Voice of Tibet, a media outlet of exiled Tibetans, said Tibetan activist Logba Rangzen “self-immolated outside the U.N. headquarters in New York after a live appeal for Tibetan independence and unity.”.

He was an Uber driver and went to the scene with a Tibetan flag, local news site amNewYork reported.

The website quoted fellow Uber driver Lobsang Paljor as saying he knew Rangzen from gatherings in the Tibetan community.
