A 55-year-old man was found dead under a bed and hidden inside a trash bag in a north Queens apartment Tuesday night, police and law enforcement said.
Police and officials said the body was discovered at the Kew Gardens Hills apartment at 137-17 70th Street around 5 p.m., when police were called to conduct a welfare check.
The man, whose identity has not been released, was found unconscious and unresponsive under the bed, and was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency services.
The NYPD said the city's medical examiner's office must determine his cause of death before authorities can determine whether foul play was involved.
Officials said police are interviewing two people living in the apartment about the tragic discovery.
The man's identity is not being released pending notification of his family.
