A passerby found the 60-year-old doctor at 2:15 a.m. Friday lying unconscious on a staircase with a jacket over his head inside Marcus Garvey Park near the historic Harlem Fire Watchtower, cops said.

The ground nearby was scattered with condoms in a section of the park linked in the past to flagrant drug use, drug sales and prostitution.

Henry got his degree in medicine from the State University of New York Upstate Medical University in 1987. He was licensed to practice in New York, New Jersey, Louisiana and Florida, records in all four states show.

He has practiced at hospitals in Nyack, Paterson, N.J., and New Orleans, records show.

There have been no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing.
