A fourth New York City resident fell victim to the heat wave that socked the city with 90-plus temperatures, officials said Saturday.

The death occurred Monday in a private home and was confirmed Saturday to have been heat-related, according to the city Medical Examiner’s office.

The office would not release any details about the victim, citing privacy.

Unlike the three previous heat-related deaths in NYC last week, the ME’s office did not cite any underlying health conditions in the most recent case.

All were said to be residents of private homes who died at home or in the hospital.

The six-day heat wave stretched from July 19 through Sunday with soaring temps that day forcing the New York City Triathlon to shorten the race.

The weather did not cool off until storms moved through Monday.
