John Quinones, 75, was found unconscious in his apartment on the 10th floor and rushed to Jacobi Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, cops said. A second man was found in the hallway and was pronounced dead at the scene, they said.
Three other residents were taken to Jacobi Medical Center, an FDNY spokesman said. One was in critical condition and the other two were in serious but stable condition, he said.
