Police in northern New Jersey, US found an emaciated 4-year-old boy in an apartment Tuesday morning with the body of his mother, who appeared to have been dead about five days.
The discovery was made Tuesday after a maintenance worker reported a bad odour coming from the apartment.
The door was ajar but locked with a chain.
The boy told police he tried to get food from the refrigerator but couldn't open the door, Union Police Director Daniel Zieser said.
The boy also had rubbed lotion on his mother in an apparent attempt to help her, leaving behind his handprints, Zieser said.
Police forcefully entered the apartment and found the woman lying dead in her bedroom.
Zieser told New York radio station WCBS. "So that's kind of sad that nobody checked on him, no family members. It's sad, very sad."
The county's medical examiner is currently conducting an autopsy on the woman's body.
The woman wasn't being identified until relatives could be notified. Police don't suspect foul play.
The boy was taken to a hospital for treatment.
