Dead man discovered in NYC apartment after foul odor spread in building for days

A rotting corpse was discovered inside a Bronx apartment Wednesday, after a foul stench had started to linger in the building.

The man was found with a fatal stab wound to his chest at 1006 Longview Ave., when construction workers noticed a horrible smell while performing renovations, according to the building’s landlord. 

Police responded to a 911 call around 1:20 p.m. and found the unidentified adult male. 

Cops and cleanup crews in full protective gear were later seen going in and out of the building, and the man’s body was transported out on a gurney.

EMS pronounced him dead at the scene.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
