BOONTON The mother who was found dead with one of her young sons in a park pond on Tuesday night had faced a series of tragedies in the days before, reports say.
The bodies of Warda Syed, 35, and 11-year-old Uzair Ahmed were discovered in the water in the Upper Pond section of Grace Lord Park after people encountered Syed s surviving 6-year-old son alone in a parked car nearby.
Acting Morris County Prosecutor Robert Carroll has not revealed the circumstances or cause of their deaths.
Flowers, teddy bears and messages of condolence were left at the park on Tuesday.
A doctor whose cousin rented an apartment to Syed’s family told NBC 4 New York that Syed s husband was being treated for Stage 4 cancer. In addition, her brother died from coronavirus two weeks ago and her sister, a doctor, died three days ago in Pakistan.
