The decomposing bodies of two men were pulled from the water by police in separate incidents in Queens and Manhattan Sunday, authorities said.
At about 11 a.m., a passerby spotted a man’s body floating near the Rockaway Point Yacht Club, off Beach 201st St. in Breezy Point, cops said.
Police also recovered the body of a man in his 60s in the waters off the George Washington Bridge about noon.

Neither man has been identified, and the city medical examiner’s office will determine how they died, an NYPD spokesman said.

Police typically see an uptick in bodies found in waterways in the spring months, partly because warming waters expand gases inside the corpses, causing them to float to the surface, officials have said.
