Police are investigating the sudden death of a 36-year-old man inside his Queens home on Sunday night.
Officers from the 110th Precinct responded to a 911 call at about 8:59 p.m. for a man found unconscious inside an apartment house on Elbertson Street near Britton Avenue in Elmhurst.
When the officers arrived on the scene, they found EMS units attending to Rafael Marquez, 36, who lived at the location and was in apparent cardiac arrest. Paramedics administered CPR on him, but were unsuccessful in reviving him.
