Three people were found dead across New York City on Saturday, when temperatures had dropped down into the teens. NYPD officials confirmed three bodies had been found — two in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan — between 7 and 9 a.m. None of the bodies had physical signs of trauma and investigato rs suspected each died from weather-related circumstances, according to sources familiar with the matter. A 67-year-old man was first discovered on a sidewalk around 7:45 a.m. on 3rd Avenue, police said. The second and third bodies were found almost two hours later. Officials said a man in his 30s was spotted on an outdoor staircase at a building along Warren Street in Brooklyn. Across the borough in Canarsie, a woman in her 60s was discovered outside around the same time. The city’s medical examiner will conduct individual investigations to determine the official causes of death for each of the people found Saturday morning.

Wind chills were forecasted to stay between 0-10 all day, making for brutal conditions as New Yorkers prepared for Sunday’s incoming snow storm. At a storm briefing on Saturday morning, Mayor Zohran Mamdani stressed his concern not just over the snow storm, but the bitter cold already taking over the region. “Frankly, it will be colder than any sustained period that New York has experienced in about eight years,” he cautioned. Mamdani said the city declared a Code Blue on Thursday, which triggers enhanced homeless outreach services when temperatures become dangerous in the city. Anyone seeking a shelter bed is supposed to be guaranteed one. “No one will be denied,” the mayor said Saturday. “All hospitals, all Department of Homeless Services drop-in centers, and all DHS shelters have a fully open door policy.” ...read more read less
