Cops and EMTs arrived at the puzzling scene on 65th Ave. and Parsons Blvd. in Flushing about 9:25 a.m.
They found a 57-year-old man and a dog dead inside the van and a 73-year-old man unconscious outside, cops said. The man outside the van apparently took a tumble that knocked him out, though cops are still investigating what happened, police sources said.
Cops have not yet released the dead man’s name.
Medics took the 73-year-old to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Queens in stable condition.
It’s not yet clear if the younger man’s death is related to the cold weather. As of Saturday, 14 people have died on city streets amid historic cold temperatures.
