Police found a New York City man and woman tied up inside a burned-out Queens home Monday after firefighters extinguished the flames, according to police and local reports.

The victims, a 77-year-old male and 78-year-old female, were found dead inside a house in the Bellerose neighborhood, about two miles from horse racing’s famous Belmont Park racetrack around 3:30 p.m. Medics pronounced both of them dead at the scene. Their identities were not immediately released, pending the notification of their family.

FOX 5 New York reported that about 60 firefighters spent less than an hour battling flames, which are believed to have been lit by the suspect on the first floor before spreading.

Neighbors told the station the male victim was an avid Yankees fan and had lived in the home for about 40 years.

“That was our conversation — the Yankees was always conversation,” an unnamed neighbor was quoted as saying. “It sucks man, to come home to this is like you know, you hear about this stuff happening in other neighborhoods and you feel for it, but when it happens, like literally right across the street from you dude, it’s not cool.”

Members of law enforcement were seen passing a battery-powered saw through the window during the scene investigation. (FNTV)
