A 28-year-old man was found dead in his Harlem apartment yesterday with a black bag over his head and his hands bound behind his back, law-enforcement sources said.
The victim’s landlord called police at around 8:20 a.m. to report finding the man’s body inside the first-floor apartment on St. Nicholas Avenue, the sources said.
The landlord bizarrely told cops that he hadn’t seen the victim, who had been ailing and depressed, since Friday — when he found him rolling naked on the floor.
There were no immediate signs of trauma to the body, according to the sources.
Inside the apartment, investigators found 10 prescriptions from three doctors, including ones for amphetamines and the painkiller oxycodone.
An iPhone and other electronics were also found in the victim’s room.
The man’s brother killed his entire family and himself in Brazil last year, the sources said, and his boyfriend had moved to California.
Police are waiting for the Medical Examiner’s Office to determine the cause of death.

Police released new photos of a suspect in the stabbing of a 17-year-old Woodhaven girl on her way home from work last week, authorities said.
The surveillance photos show the suspected attacker fleeing the scene shortly after Natasha Martinez was stabbed 11 times after she walked home from McDonald’s at around 11:30 p.m., July 29, police said.
Martinez was attacked just steps from her home on 85th Street.
The new photos come just one day after police questioned an alleged member of the Latin Kings gang about the crime.
That man was released hours later and not charged, cops said.

A man tried to rob a cabby in Brownsville after flagging him down, jumping into the front seat and beating him until he crashed, authorities said.
Michael Garcia hailed the cab at around 12:35 a.m. outside 219 Thomas Boyland St. and waited until the car was moving before he grabbed the driver by the collar and put him in a headlock, according to a Criminal Court complaint.
Garcia then punched the driver repeatedly in the chest and demanded his cash, the document says.
The cabby hit a parked car, damaging both vehicles, according to the court records.
Garcia allegedly tried grabbing the keys then fled, but cops caught up with him as he ran.
He was charged with attempted robbery, reckless endangerment, weapon possession, assault, menacing, harassment and attempted petit larceny.
