Mayor Zohran Mamdani said that seven of the 10 people who died during the cold weather showed signs of cold exposure. One man was found dead just steps from a hospital.
The death toll from the storm has risen to 10. As it emerged that some of the dead had prior contact with social service workers, Mayor Zohran Mamdani vowed to do more to get people into shelters.
Zohran Mamdani said on Tuesday that instituting Code Blue rules was not enough, saying that when “the cold is this deadly, we need to meet the moment.”
