The first man was found on the sidewalk by 19th Avenue and 86th Street in Bensonhurst West around 7:30 a.m., authorities said.

His death is not considered suspicious, police said.

The other two men, who both appeared to be in their 40s, were found unresponsive on the Riegelmann Boardwalk between West 15th and West 16th streets around 8 a.m., police told the New York Post.

Both were pronounced dead at the scene, with a source telling the outlet that they were believed to be the result of a drug overdose.

None of the men have been identified at this time.

The city's medical examiner's office will conduct an autopsy to determine each man's cause of death.
