Police are calling the death of an elderly Queens man suspicious after he was discovered bound inside his home Monday morning.
Investigators say they responded to the 84-year-old man's home on 216th Street in Queens Village.
Sources say the man's hands and feet were tied. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say a visiting nurse told them she last saw him on Saturday and he was fine.
Neighbors say the man lived in the area for 20-years.
"He was always smiling. He was a very good man," said one neighbor.
"He was very quiet. He didn't talk much, but when I did talk to him he spoke about his time in the army and in Europe," said another neighbor.
An autopsy is set for Tuesday to determine the exact cause of death.
