A man was discovered dead in a Queens apartment after an early-morning fire there Sunday, authorities said.
Officials said the body of the man, whose identity has not been released, was found inside the home on 190th Lane between 192 Street and 69 Avenue in Fresh Meadows after firefighters doused the flames.
Firefighters were dispatched to the scene shortly after 7:15 am, the department said.
The flames were under control within 30 minutes, and the body was soon found inside, an FDNY rep said.
Photos from the scene show the body being wheeled out of the 12-apartment complex on a stretcher.
The cause of the blaze is not yet known, nor any other details about the man’s death.
The fire comes one day after a 78-year-old man was killed when flames broke out inside his 10th floor Upper West Side apartment in a senior housing building.
