Rotting bodies found in NYC apartment after friend hit with putrid smell at door: sources

Police were called Wednesday to the home for a wellness check on a 54-year-old woman after the unnamed pal went to the door to check on his friend because he hadn’t heard from her in weeks, according to sources and the NYPD.

That’s when he got a whiff of the smell at 640 Ditmas Ave. around 10:15 a.m. in Kensington and called police.

Sources said the woman was found with stab wounds all over her body and a decomposed man was nearby in the apartment she shared with her son. A knife was also found, the sources said.
