Little girl found alive with deceased family

Four-year-old girl was discovered alive and trapped inside a New York apartment next to her deceased family.

The girl’s mom, Lisa Cotton, 38, and her 8-year-old brother, Nazir Millien, were dead for at least several days before Lisa’s older daughter went to check on them following a call from the landlord.

According to Lisa’s father, Hubert Cotton, his daughter suffered from asthma and had bipolar disorder. She likely died of a cardiac arrest. His grandson, who was born prematurely and had a feeding tube, probably died of starvation.

When Hubert received a call from Lisa’s landlord who questioned whether she had left the apartment, he sent Lisa’s older daughter to check up on her mom and siblings.

The sight was a devastating one – bugs were crawling over Nazir’s dead body.

The youngest sibling, 4-year-old Promise was by her mom’s bed, feeding herself with chocolate.

No one knows for sure how long the mother and her son had been dead, but neighbors complained of an odor that smelled like death for weeks.

After receiving an anonymous call, cops conducted a welfare check on the family Tuesday at the East 231st Street apartment in the Wakefield section. However, since they didn’t feel the odor or heard noises coming from the apartment, they left.

“They said they’d be back in a few days,” a neighbor said of the cops. “One of the social workers said she was trying to get a court order to have the door broken in.”

Lisa’s older daughter grabbed Promise, took her out of the apartment, and called 911.

It is a miracle how the girl managed to stay alive for days next to her deceased family.

Promise is now staying with her grandfather, who says, “She hasn’t said anything. She’s a baby. She looks at me sometimes, you know? Like she knows something.

“We don’t know anything, we’re trying to find out.”

Hubert wonders how he’ll lay his daughter and his grandson to rest.

“I’m sorry… Two of them,” he said through tears. “How am I going to get the money? To bury both of them?”

One of Lisa’s neighbors, Eric Perez, who lives on the floor above Lisa’s, said, “The landlord hadn’t done wellness checks, people had called, neighbors called.

“It just smells like rat infested…  the exterminator said the same thing — the smell is similar to rats and even death.”

Other neighbors witnessed Lisa acted strange and inappropriately at times.
