Mother, son found dead in Sydney home

A frail, wheelchair-bound woman starved to death after her carer son slipped and died while getting out of the bath at their Sydney home.

The bodies of the 94-year-old woman and her son, 66, were found at a house in Rooty Hill. Police said they probably died a month ago.

It is believed the man hit his head as he slipped and died. The woman tried to get out of her wheelchair but collapsed to the ground and starved to death, police said.
