Two men were found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in a Bensonhurst apartment building Monday night.
According to the NYPD, at around 7:40 p.m., the men were found in the basement of a building at 170 Ave. O.
After firefighters on the scene determined the men had died from cardiac arrest related to carbon monoxide, the call was upgraded to a hazardous materials incident. Four other patients were treated but refused transportation to the hospital. Utility companies were also at the scene to address the source of the carbon monoxide.
