Two found dead in burning car near Bronx golf course: cops

Two people were found dead in a burning car near a Bronx golf course early Monday, authorities said. 

Police and fire officials responded around 4:15 a.m. to Shore Road near the Pelham Split Rock Course — where they discovered a Honda Accord on the side of the road engulfed in flames, authorities said. 

First responders discovered the bodies — whose age and gender were not immediately known — in the driver’s seat and the front passenger seat, cops said.
