The NYPD is investigating whether the decomposing bodies of a man and woman were the result of a murder-suicide incident after responding to a neighbor’s welfare check request on Saturday.
The downstairs neighbor called 911 after spotting maggots falling from the ceiling. When officers arrived at the 2390 Creston Avenue apartment, they made the gruesome discovery.
The bodies of a 40-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman were found decaying at around 4:50 p.m. they appear to have died two weeks ago.
Investigators are probing a possible murder-suicide after recovering a firearm next to the man’s body.
Authorities had reportedly responded to the apartment twice, in August and September, over domestic complaints.
