A father and son were found dead inside their Parkchester home over the weekend.
According to police, 85-year-old Joseph Valerio and 46-year-old Joseph Valerio Jr. were found dead inside a fourth-floor apartment on Beach Avenue Saturday. The victims' daughter and sister made the discovery.
Officials say the cause of the deaths remains unclear, but the son had a diminished mental capacity and needed his father's care, despite his own suffering from seizures.
