A Queens man died of “probable COVID-19,” according to police sources — but neither the city medical examiner nor the Health Department could say whether he would be tested for the virus in order to warn others who interacted with him.

Jose Tenezaca, 51, was found unresponsive by his brother in an apartment in Jackson Heights around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday and was declared dead, sources told The Post on Wednesday.

Tenezaca had been complaining of a high fever and a headache, but had not been tested for COVID-19 before passing away, sources said.

The city medical examiner determined he had died as a result of a “recent influenza like illness (probable COVID-19)” but couldn’t say whether the body had been tested. The agency deferred questions about relatives to the Health Department, a representative said in an email to The Post.

It was unclear whether Tenezaca had pre-existing health conditions, and whether had been infected with the coronavirus or had been tested before passing.

Representatives for the Health Department couldn’t immediately say what the protocol is for testing a dead body deemed a “probable” case.

As of Wednesday morning, City Hall reported 17,856 diagnosed cases and 199 deaths.
