-no foul play suspected
A 68-year-old woman and 29-year-old man were yesterday found dead in their respective homes at Silvertown, Linden and no foul play is suspected.
Sometime after 6 am yesterday Una Smartt of 152 2nd St was found dead in a chair in her bathroom by her nephew.
According to neighbours the young man climbed through the window of the upper flat of the building where his aunt lived alone following reports from a concerned occupant of the house. The occupant of the bottom flat said that the previous night he noticed the window of the house open and had called out to Una but got no response.
Noticing the window still open yesterday morning and again getting no response he decided to inform her nephew who lives close by.
Later in the morning some minutes after 9 the brother of 29-year-old Vibert Moore of 112 2nd St, Silvertown found him dead in a seated position in a chair in the living room area.
His brother said that Moore was epileptic and experienced frequent attacks.
It is believed that both persons died of natural causes since there were no signs of violence or theft in either of the houses.
Post-mortem examinations are to be done.
