Eight of the nine people who died in the New York City were in basement apartments, common in Brooklyn and Queens which are illegal dwellings.
I was aware of 3 fire deaths in Brooklyn basement apartments but these are the first basement deaths by water that I’m aware of. There are good reasons that basement apartments are illegal in New York City.
More bad news. Was this some sort of poisoning from a generator?
