NEW YORK — Four Long Island residents died, including two men who collapsed shoveling snow in the same small town, as a nor’easter blanketed New York and much of the northeast Saturday.
The men were digging out during winter storm Kenan, which dumped a foot of snow onto New York City and between 18 and 24 inches across Long Island.
At about 2:30 p.m., a 75-year-old man collapsed while shoveling snow on Barbara Drive in Syosset, a hamlet in Nassau County, police said. Despite efforts by Syosset Fire Department personnel to perform CPR, he died at North Shore Syosset Hospital, cops said.
