The sight of them startled her. Zambito and Johnson wore surgical masks, body-length plastic protective gowns, and thick blue gloves. A stretcher rattled behind them. The body was visible through the apartment's open door. A long interior hallway, cluttered with cardboard boxes and shoes, led to the bathroom, where a man in a striped button-down shirt and gray cardigan was lying face down on the floor. He was seventy-one and, according to the nurse, had been having trouble breathing. Several hours had passed since she found him there, she said. His mouth was still open.
