Bronx Mother, Son Found Dead, 4-Year-Old Rescued

A 38-year-old wheelchair-bound woman and her 8-year-old autistic son were found dead in their Bronx apartment, with her 4-year-old daughter trapped inside for several days before being rescued in stable condition. The discovery was made after concerned relatives, who had not heard from the family, asked the woman's older daughter and father to check on them, leading to the grim scene and a 911 call. Police described the apartment as squalid and reported no obvious signs of trauma on the deceased, with autopsies pending to determine the cause of death. The mother reportedly had a pending case with the Administration for Children’s Services. Authorities have not released the victims' names, and no arrests have been made as the investigation continues.
