New York City police are investigating the death of a 64-year-old first responder who was found dead in an ambulette on Monday.
EMS workers found Peter Forrest inside a Marquis Ambulette bus, parked on a side street in the Bronx in the Castle Hill Park neighborhood near Barrett Avenue, around 10:30 a.m Monday after someone called 911, the New York Police Department said. The ambulette had been abandoned in the area for some time, police said.
Forrest was found face down in a pool of blood on the floor of the ambulette, the New York Post reported.
