Five more buildings in the Bronx have tested positive for the bacteria that cause the potentially deadly Legionnaires’ disease, though there is no sign that anyone has grown ill from the new sites, New York City officials said Saturday.
Police said the boy had severe head trauma and they are investigating whether the boy fell, was tossed from a window, or was left there. Neighbors told 1010 WINS that the boy lived with his family on the fourth floor, WCBS added.
