Five Dead in NYC Cold Snap as New Mayor Faces Accusations of Inaction
NEW YORK CITY ** At least five people died amid a brutal cold snap that gripped the city this week, with three confirmed to have frozen to death on the streets, according to sources familiar with the cases. The victims, all believed to be homeless, succumbed to subzero temperatures in what advocates are calling a preventable tragedy.
Insiders close to the new mayor’s administration say the office was repeatedly warned about the rising risk to unsheltered residents as forecasts predicted dangerous lows, yet no emergency measures were taken. 'They knew people were at risk and did absolutely nothing,' one administration official told reporters on condition of anonymity. 'There were discussions about opening additional warming centers or ramping up outreach, but it never went anywhere. The mayor stayed silent.” Critics point to the lack of any public statement or visible response from City Hall as the death toll climbed, fueling outrage among advocates who say the new leadership has already shown indifference to the city’s most vulnerable. Officials have not yet commented on the deaths or the allegations of negligence.
