The decomposing bodies of an 80-year-old woman and her 52-year-old son were discovered inside a downtown Brooklyn apartment where neighbors said neither victim had been seen in some time, police said Thursday.
Neither victim had any visible wounds. A city Medical Examiner autopsy will determine how each of them died..
Neighbors in the building on Jay St. near Tillary St. called police just before 1 p.m. Wednesday asking them to check on the mother after smelling a foul odor, cops said.
Officers found the woman and her son dead inside. Their names were not immediately released as cops track down other family members.
The mother had apparently died first. Her body was in an advanced stage of decomposition, a police source said.
No criminality was immediately suspected, police source said.
