Police have confirmed two more people were found dead, one in The Bronx and the other in Brooklyn.
The deaths occurred amid plummeting temperatures, which prompted a citywide Code Blue alert from Saturday until Tuesday, Jan 27. at 8 a.m.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani reacted to the news on X Saturday, saying in part, “it is a reminder that every year New Yorkers succumb to the cold. The danger of this weather cannot be overstated.”
