A man was found dead Sunday on a scaffolding outside a Marble Hill NYCHA building.

It was not immediately clear how the man died. His body was found in the rear of 89 West 225th St.

Neighbors watched paramedics and police as they lowered the body from the scaffolding.

As neighbors watched wooden pallets stained with blood and the body lying on the ground, they were left with more questions and concerns.

"I don't know who it is, but it's kind of scary,” said resident Bucky Smith.

Police told News 12 that there is an ongoing investigation into the man’s death.
