The man\u2019s cause of death will be determined by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The grisly discovery came one day after skeletal remains were discovered<\/a> in a vacant Manhattan brownstone, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Officers stumbled upon the skeletonized body after responding to a call at the building on East 115th Street between Second and Third Avenues in East Harlem around 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday, authorities said.\u00a0<\/p>\n A forensic examination is underway to confirm the identity of the remains.\u00a0<\/p>\n And last week, a man was arrested and charged<\/a> with allegedly hiding a skeletal body<\/a> in his apartment under piled-up junk on a Brooklyn couch, cops and prosecutors said.<\/p>\n A 911 caller reported a putrid stench, drawing police to the scene.
