Three-year-old son found dead with custodial dad (Englewood, New Jersey)

Though the police won't say officially that this is a murder-suicide, it seems likely. Notice that this APPEARS to be a custodial father, given that the UNNAMED DAD was "supposed to" drop off the boy to "visit" with the mother. Hmmm. Control freak killer dad got custody? And didn't want to share? Was there a judge in this case? If so, who?

ENGLEWOOD - The bodies of a man and his 3-year-old son were found dead inside the man's apartment on Sept. 26, police officials said.

The cause of death is unknown at this time, said Deputy Police Chief Lawrence Suffern. There are no signs that indicate foul play, Suffern said.

Authorities arrived at the man's apartment after the child's mother came to the Police Department saying that she was unable to contact the individual.

According to Suffern, the woman said the man was supposed to meet with her in order to drop off their son to visit with her, but did not show up. He said she called the man's cellphone, and went to the apartment, and he did not answer the door. After searching other locations, including the man's mother's home, she went to the police.

When officers entered the home, Suffern said they found the man on top of the son, possibly from holding him, but it was not clear.

Suffern said he expects the autopsy report completed by Tuesday, which may provide more answers to the cause and time of death.
