A 55-year-old man was found dead under a bed — and stashed inside a garbage bag — in a northern Queens apartment Tuesday evening, according to police and law enforcement sources.
The body was discovered at the Kew Gardens Hills apartment building at 137-17 70th Avenue around 5 p.m. when cops were called to perform a welfare check, police and sources said.
The man, whose identity has not been released, was unconscious and unresponsive underneath the bed and declared dead at the scene by EMS.
The city’s medical examiner’s office needs to determine his cause of death before authorities can determine if foul play is involved, according to the NYPD.
Police are interviewing two people who live in the apartment about the grim discovery, sources said.
The man’s identity was not released pending family notification.
