Two decomposing bodies were found inside an apartment at the Astoria Houses NYCHA complex early Thursday after a resident reported smelling a foul odor

The NYPD received a call at around 12:25 a.m. and found the two bodies — partially decomposed — inside an apartment at 1-05 Astoria Blvd, police said.

The pair is thought to be a mother and her adult son, Pix11 reported.

Police believe that the mother died of natural causes and her son, who had a disability, was unable to take care of himself and later died.

The city’s Medical Examiner will determine their official cause of death. The investigation is ongoing.

Robbery suspects pepper-spray woman in Auburndale, flee with cash and phone: NYPD

Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing are looking for two men who blasted a caustic liquid in the face of a 36-year-old woman and then robbed her of hundreds of dollars in cash and personal property in Auburndale last month.

The victim was standing in front of a home at 40-45 172nd St. across from the Star Toyota Service Center when two strangers approached and pepper-sprayed her face before snatching her purse, which contained a cell phone and $600 in cash, police said. They fled the location in an orange sedan in an unknown direction and remain at large a month later.
