Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The Plaintiff's decedent was dropped off at the Main Street subway station in Queens at 4:45 P.M. on July 9, 2003. Shortly thereafter, her deceased body was found under two cars of a Manhattan-bound No. 7 train, and one of her shoes was found on the subway platform. There were no witnesses to the incident, but, according to the medical examiner's report, the decedent's blood alcohol level was .21%. At the close of the evidence at the trial of this action, the Supreme Court granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to make out a prima facie case of negligence. We affirm.
"While . . . a deceased or unconscious plaintiff is held to a lesser standard of proof, that does not relieve the plaintiff of the obligation to provide some proof from which negligence could reasonably be inferred" ( Byrd v New York City Tr. Auth., 228 AD2d 537 [citation omitted]; see Noseworthy v City of New York, 298 NY 76, 80 [1948]; Home v Metropolitan Tr. Auth., 82 AD2d 909, 910). Here, the only evidence supporting the negligence claim was the testimony of the Plaintiff's expert Nicholas Bellizzi that the train's conductor should have seen the decedent, or at least her shoe, on the platform. That testimony was entirely speculative, however, and thus did not constitute proof from which negligence could reasonably be inferred ( see e.g. Mirjah v New York City Tr. Auth., 48 AD3d 764, 765-766; Seong Sil Kim v New York City Tr. Auth., 27 AD3d 332, 334; cf. Huggins v Figueroa, 305 AD2d 460, 462). Accordingly, even after giving the plaintiff "the benefit of every favorable inference which [could] reasonably [be] drawn from the evidence" ( Posner v New York City Tr. Auth., 27 AD3d 542, 543; see McCummings v New York City Tr. Auth., 81 NY2d 923, 926, cert denied 510 US 991 ), the Supreme Court properly granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to establish a prima facie case.
