Mother and son found face up and mummified in NYC apartment

A mother and son were discovered mummified inside a Brooklyn apartment on Wednesday afternoon — after residents reported a troubling smell wafting through the building for days, according to sources and authorities.

The 80-year-old woman and 52-year-old man were discovered by officers who entered the building on the corner of Jay Street and Tillary Street in Downtown Brooklyn for a wellness check just before 1 p.m., according to the NYPD.

The unidentified pair were both found unresponsive, face-up, and their bodies appeared to have been mummified, according to sources.
