A dead man was found floating in the Hudson River off Harlem on Sunday morning, police said.
Cops were called to the scene near Dyckman Street around the Henry Hudson Parkway shortly after 9:30 a.m. and found the body in the water, an NYPD rep said.
Cops from the 34th Precinct, as well as firefighters and the NYPD harbor and marine units, responded to the scene.
Post photos show workers from the coroner’s office hauling the corpse away in a body bag.
Police said the identity of the man, described by sources as being in his 40s, is pending further investigation and that his cause of death will be determined by the city medical examiner’s office.
Earlier this month, authorities pulled three bodies from the East River in one day, including that of a 15-year-old girl who vanished off Roosevelt Island the week before, police said.
Grace Ilogene’s body was spotted floating in the fast-moving river June 6, swept away by the current after telling a friend she was going for a dip even though she couldn’t swim.
Cops also responded to a 911 call about an unconscious man in the water just after 6 a.m. near the Brooklyn Bridge that day, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The same day, another man was spotted by a 911 caller floating in the water near 34th Street and FDR Drive just before 7 p.m. He was taken to Pier 16 and pronounced dead, police said.
