There are so many homeless people around Ditmars. The city needs to do more and step in and protect them from danger.
That is false, also read the article, he was found on Randall’s Island.
This is heartbreaking. Such a horrible way to die, and all alone. May he rest in peace.
Wish this city had more monitoring of people during this cold weather. No excuse for this.
poor soul may he rest in peace
