MIDTOWN — The deaths of two women who were found in separate hotel rooms after spending time with Joseph Danclair were both ruled a homicide, the Chief Medical Examiner said Monday.
Danclair, 36, was charged with the murder of Antoinette Marin, 43, who was found dead inside the Manhattan Broadway Hotel on West 38th Street in September.
The death of Chrissy Bevelaqua, 35, who was found inside the Bushwick Hotel in Brooklyn in July, has also now been ruled a homicide.
Bevelaqua died from compression of her neck and chest, according to the ME.
Danclair has not yet been charged in her death, an NYPD spokesman said.
Marin died from compression of the neck.
The ex-con, who has been arrested 28 times, mainly on drug charges, told detectives that both women overdosed after he was apprehended in Kips Bay last Thursday.
He is due back in court on Sept. 23.
