Two dead bodies found on subway within hours in Mamdani’s NYC

The first body was found in Manhattan right after 3:30 am on Sunday when transit workers alerted police to an unresponsive passenger on a No. 7 train line. Officers who reported to the scene found a 23-year-old man who was pronounced dead. Details about how long he had been on the train or what led to his death were not immediately available, per the New York Post.

Several hours later, the second death was discovered in Brooklyn. A man believed to be in his 50s was found deceased inside a train car at the 36th Street station. Drug paraphernalia was found nearby, suggesting a possible overdose, per the outlet. However, the cause of death has not been confirmed.

Both cases have been referred to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, which will conduct autopsies to establish the exact causes of death.

The incidents occurred during an extended period of frigid weather, which may have pushed some on the street to take shelter in the subway system. At least 17 other people have died in the last few weeks during the cold snap.

Mayor Mamdani has come under fire for the deaths, and at the same time has been slammed for a lack of snow and trash removal after a major winter storm hit New York City. It has been about two weeks since the storm dropped about a foot of snow on the Big Apple. However, residents are still reporting icy sidewalks, delayed trash pick-up, and other issues.
