ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (WPVI) -- Atlantic City police are investigating two separate New Year's Day deaths.

Police responded to the first incident around 6:15 a.m. Monday after receiving a 911 call about a man bleeding in the unit block of S. California Avenue. The man, who has since been identified as 50-year-old Vincent O'Brien III, was taken to Atlantic City Regional Medical Center where he died of his wounds.

A little more than an hour later, police responded to another 911 call around 7:34 a.m. after someone reported a man with multiple stab wounds. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. That man has since been identified as 22-year-old Nazir Cintron.
