Two heartless individuals were caught on camera callously pushing a man suffering from a possible drug overdose in a rolling office chair to the back of a Staten Island pizza shop, where he was later found dead. Surveillance footage captured the despicable act around 2 a.m. on Sunday, showing the suspects rolling the unconscious man from a nearby apartment to the pizza place just around the corner and leaving him on the ground. Tragically, the man was declared dead at the scene, and while there was bruising on his nose, it’s unclear if the trauma occurred before or after his death. The victim’s roommate reported seeing him ingest a powdery substance through his nose, which prompted him and another person to bring him outside for fresh air when they realized he might be overdosing. However, the roommate fled the scene out of fear of getting in trouble, leaving the man to die alone. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death, and authorities are actively seeking the two individuals responsible for this heartless act.
