Brooklyn grandmother found dead on couch with suspicious head wound: ‘Nobody knows what happened except the dog’

A Brooklyn grandmother was found dead on a couch with a suspicious head wound this week after her concerned son called police to check on her, authorities and sources said.

The unidentified 59-year-old woman was discovered inside an apartment on 79th Street near Third Avenue in Bay Ridge, according to cops and law enforcement sources.

Members of the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit made the discovery after the victim’s son called for a wellness check, the sources said.

The 59-year-old woman was found lying face-down on the sofa around 9:30 a.m., according to cops and law enforcement sources.

Emergency medical services workers pronounced the grandmother dead at the scene, police said.

Foul play is suspected in the Bay Ridge woman’s death, according to the sources.

The woman was a mother of two sons and had two granddaughters, neighbors said.

Several hours after the body was discovered, the woman’s husband was taken into custody about two miles away in Sunset Park, the sources said.

The victim’s son had tracked the man to the intersection of 52nd Street and Seventh Avenue, according to the sources.

The husband had barricaded himself inside his car at the location, the sources said.

Multiple specialized police officers responded to the scene and pulled him from the vehicle, according to the sources.

Neighbors living near the Bay Ridge apartment said they were stunned to hear about the suspicious death.

Neighbor Sou Heir, 56, lived across from the couple and said it was not unusual to hear the couple’s pooch barking, but noted she heard no other commotion.

“They live in front of me and I didn’t know anything at all. I never heard any commotion coming from over there, only the dog,” Heir said.

“Nobody knows what happened except the dog,” Heir said.

“He was good. She was good also,” Heir added.

“They looked like they were in love…..but nobody knows what happens behind the doors,” Heir said.

“I feel they were good neighbors, I don’t know what happened. We are sad,” Heir said.

Neighbor Laura Colatraella, a retired attorney, said she last saw the woman Friday or Saturday night walking her golden labradoodle.

The labradoodle had been a gift from the woman’s son, Colatraella said.

Colatraella said she last saw the husband earlier in the week as he looked for a delivery package when he came home from work.

“I never saw any problems with them. I never saw them fighting, you know, any dispute,” Colatraella said.

Colatraella described the victim as a hard-working home health care worker who often worked six or seven days in a row, including some overnight shifts.

“She had a really sweet personality – very, very kind, very sweet, nice and friendly to everyone,” the retiree said. “It was very easy to talk to her, we talked a lot.”

“I just feel really bad,” Colatraella added.

It had not been determined by Tuesday what – if any – role the husband played in his wife’s death, the sources said.
