Don't Leave The Fridge Door Open!

A morbidly obese woman was found dead in her Staten Island apartment - sprawled in front of her open refrigerator - with the body of her overweight son in the next room.

The decomposed bodies of Doris Newsome, 63, and Martin Newsome, 34, were found in their Silver Lake home Tuesday morning and are believed to have died of natural causes.

She was lying near her empty oxygen tank in front of the refrigerator, and he was in a rear bedroom, cops and neighbors said.

Officials yesterday were still trying to ascertain who died first and when the deaths occurred.
"It was the two of them, all the time - they never had any visitors or friends come by," he said. "They had a very good relationship."
