A Bronx mailman has died from the coronavirus, the first known city letter carrier to succumb to the illness, according to his labor union.

Rakkhon Kim, 50, who worked at a post office in West Farms, died from complications of the disease on Wednesday, the National Association of Letter Carriers said in a news release.

Kim, a New Jersey resident, worked as a postman for 23-years, NALC said.

“On behalf of the NALC, we mourn the loss of Brother Kim,” NALC President Fredric Rolando said in a statement.

“We send our deepest sympathies and heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Rakkhon’s family, loved ones, friends and co-workers.“
