Two Construction Workers Found Unconscious in NYC Stairwell, Later Pronounced Dead: Police

Two construction workers tragically lost their lives in a Little Italy stairwell on Saturday afternoon. The incident occurred at an apartment building located at 118 Mulberry Street around 3:45 p.m.

The victims, aged 35 and 34, were found unconscious inside the building. Emergency responders arrived quickly, but the younger man was pronounced dead at the scene. The older worker received CPR as paramedics transported him out on a stretcher, but he later died at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.

Witnesses described the scene as unsettling, yet many nearby diners at restaurants like Casa Bella and Manero’s Pizza seemed largely unfazed as first responders worked. However, one woman was seen visibly upset by the events unfolding.

The cause of death for both men is still unknown, and the investigation is ongoing. The community is left in shock as they come to terms with this tragic loss.
