The woman, Ingrid Rivera, was reported missing by her family after she didn't show up at her Queens home after attending a party at the club.

A police source told Eyewitness News that Rivera attended a birthday party at the club for rapper Lil' Kim on Sunday into Monday.

She was found by workers doing work on the roof on Wednesday afternoon.

A police source said it appeared the woman had been bludgeoned to death. An autopsy will be conducted to determine what caused Rivera's death.

Investigators will also be checking to see if the victim was raped, a source said. They said signs suggest a struggle and a sexual assault.

Detectives spent the evening reviewing surveillance video at the club and trying to track down people who were at the party.

A spokesperson for Lil' Kim said in an e-mailed statement that Wednesday night was "the first Lil' Kim has heard of this matter."

"When I was there, everything was cool," actress LisaRaye McCoy-Misick, a friend of Lil' Kim and the wife of the premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands, told The New York Times. The artist's spokesman, Ronn Torossian, said in an e-mailed statement that Wednesday night was "the first Lil' Kim has heard of this matter."

In July 2006, Lil' Kim got out of a federal detention center in Philadelphia after nearly 10 months behind bars for lying about a shootout outside a Manhattan hip-hop radio station. She was released early for good behavior.
