After their landlord sounded the alarm, Lisa Cotton, 38, and her son Nazir Millien, 8, were sadly discovered dead at their house on Friday.
The property’s landlord had called the woman’s father, Hubert Cotton, 71, to inquire as to whether Lisa had moved out.
“I had been trying to call her for days and she never answered,” he told the New York Post. I assumed that she didn’t respond because she didn’t want to speak with me.
The awful discovery was made by Lisa’s oldest daughter, who was dispatched to the flat to check on them out of concern.
She discovered Nazir slouched in his chair, crippled by a feeding tube and early birth. “[Nazir] was slumped over when she came in,” Hubert clarified.
After that, the young woman went in search of Lisa and discovered Promise, then four, “feeding herself with chocolate” on her mother’s bed.
