70-Year-Old Man Stabbed to Death in Queens Driveway: Police

A man was stabbed to death in his own driveway in Queens, police said Saturday. 

George Bartoli, 70, was stabbed in the neck and found lying on the driveway of his home on 104th Avenue in Jamaica late Friday, the NYPD said. 

He was pronounced dead at Long Island Jewish Hospital.

Neighbors told NBC 4 New York Bartoli rented a room in the house. 

“I knew him very well. He was a very good dude, you know, very likable, very welcoming… he had something, and you needed it, he’d give it to you,” one neighbor said.

A preliminary investigation indicated Bartoli could have been stabbed inside the house before crawling outside, police said. 

No one has been arrested with Bartoli's death, and the investigation is ongoing.
