The NYPD says they found a dead man and woman inside their apartment in Kensington.

Police say they responded to a 911 call at around 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning for a wellness check at one of the apartments at 640 Ditmas Ave. Upon arrival, officers found an unconscious and unresponsive man and woman. The individuals were pronounced dead at the scene.

News 12 was exclusively at the scene and spoke with a resident who she smelled something strange since over the weekend.

“We just smelled something rotten," a resident exclusively told News 12. "We thought it was like a dead mouse, or something leaking from our AC. We just deep cleaned for two days, and we didn’t find anything, so we just thought since it was like the third day, it was going to stop. We are just surprised that this would happen in our building.”

Police say they believe the individuals had been deceased for a couple of days.

The medical examiner will determine the cause of death in the coming days.
