The person was found on the street just after 9 a.m. Saturday at East Gun Hill Road and Seymour Avenue in the Bronx, the officials said.
No identifying info was released.
The death is the latest during the weekslong cold snap that saw temperatures plummet to below negative 15 degrees with wind chill this past weekend.
Separately, an 81-year-old man was found dead around 10 a.m. Saturday on the roof of his building at 3310 Avenue H in Flatlands, Brooklyn.
The man appeared to have slipped on a patch of ice.
His death was not included in the count of deaths from the cold weather since it did not occur outside his residence, according to City Hall.
