Thompson died after he and his wife — 100-year-old Ethlin Thompson — were tied up in their Decatur Street home in Bed-Stuy on Thursday, police and officials said.

Thompson’s wife escaped from her ties and alerted police, who found Thompson lying unconscious on the floor, said police officials.Thompson was rushed to Interfaith Hospital but doctors were unable to save his life, police said.

Borough President Eric Adams has offered a $1,000 reward to anyone who can provide information about the four suspects who broke into the home, he said in a statement.

“I am also making a call out to our community, particularly my fellow black men, to step in with the funds necessary to pay for Waldiman’s funeral,” Adams added. 

Police said no arrests had been made as of Monday morning.
