Homeless Man Found Dead in Central Park

Two separate incidents in New York City have led to police investigations following the deaths of a man in Queens and another in Central Park. Carlos Buritica, 45, found dead in his Queens apartment in October, was confirmed to have been shot in the head, marking his death as a homicide and remaining unsolved with a reward offered for information (NY Daily News). Meanwhile, a homeless man, approximately 27 years old, was discovered dead in Central Park near 72nd Street and East Drive on Wednesday evening. Authorities do not suspect foul play in the latter case, although the cause of death is yet to be determined by the Medical Examiner (AM NY, NY Post, ABC7 NY, PIX11). This incident occurred amid freezing temperatures, possibly contributing to the circumstances of his death.
