Separately, an 81-year-old man was found dead Saturday at around 10 a.m. on the roof of his building at 3310 Ave. H in Flatlands, Brooklyn.
The man appeared to have slipped on a patch of ice.
His death was not included in the count of deaths from the cold weather since it did not occur outside of his residence, according to City Hall.
