Police discovered the body during a welfare check, and an investigation into the cause of death is underway.

The NYPD found the body of a 55-year-old man wrapped in plastic garbage bags under a bed in a Queens apartment on Tuesday evening.
The discovery occurred during a welfare check at a Kew Gardens Hills residence after a 911 call reported concerns about the man's wellbeing.
The victim's identity has not been released, and authorities have stated he was not a resident of the apartment where his body was found.
Two individuals who live in the apartment were questioned by police, but no charges have been filed at this time.
The city medical examiner's office is working to determine the cause of death, which police have deemed suspicious.
