A man was found dead in a stalled construction site in Williamsburg earlier this morning. According to police, the victim was found at South 5th Street between Driggs and Bedford Avenue around 8:30 a.m.—the location was next to a spot where Rubulad parties used to take place. You can see photos of the scene above. Police initially have called it a "possible homicide." We'll update as we learn more.
In a separate incident, another man was found dead hanging from a building also in Williamsburg. That victim was found at 95 South 10th Street, and was pronounced dead at the scene. No other information was available at this time, but we'll update once we learn more.
