The lifeless body of a 55-year-old man was uncovered under a bed, concealed within a garbage bag, in a northern Queens apartment on Tuesday evening, as reported by police and law enforcement sources.

The distressing find took place at the Kew Gardens Hills apartment building located at 137-17 70th Avenue around 5 p.m. when law enforcement responded to a welfare check request, according to police and sources familiar with the matter.

The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, was found unconscious and non-responsive beneath the bed and was pronounced dead at the scene by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel.
