Three people believed to be homeless were found dead outside in the bone-chilling cold Saturday morning in Manhattan and Brooklyn, but no cause of death has been determined, cops said.
A 67-year-old man’s body was found outside 528 3rd Ave. in Murray Hill at about 7:45 a.m., cops said. A 64-year-old woman was then found outside at 1112 Remsen Ave. in Canarsie, Brooklyn, at 9:25 a.m. and pronounced dead.
Temperatures plummeted to a low as 10 degrees overnight into Saturday.
Around the same time, a man’s body was discovered at 327 Warren Ave. in Cobble Hill. The man, who was believed to be in his 30s, was also pronounced dead and remains unidentified.
No criminality was suspected in the three cases, cops said.
“All are believed to be undomiciled,” a police source said.
EMS went to each scene. All are unidentified and the Office of the City Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death, cops said.
The city instituted Code Blue days to get homeless people off the street when the temperature drops below freezing. Shelters accept all individuals without regular intake procedures, and drop-in centers stay open 24 hours.
