A 64-year-old man, who was found dead with his 95-year-old mother in a luxury apartment in New York, has been identified as an actor who played a small role in Woody Allen’s film, Crimes and Misdemeanors, from 1989.
Law enforcers told the New York Post that William Wedell used Febreeze to disguise the smell of his mother, Agnes’ body. Both mother and son were discovered Saturday when police entered their apartment in the Tate building at 535 West 23rd St, in the Chelsea area of Manhattan.
Bottles of Febreeze were discovered that were strewn throughout the apartment.
William, who also landed a small part in It Could Happen to You starring Nicholas Cage, has been identified by his sister, 61-year-old Julianna Wedell.
Julianna told the New York Post that her mother and brother lived a “very quiet, almost hermit-like life.”

Investigators who found Agnes on their couch and William in a bed believe she died at least a week before her son because she began to break up. Authorities said William was presumed dead two days before their bodies were discovered.

Julianna explained that their mother’s health had been declining for at least a month. William’s younger sister called police for a wellness check due to their mother’s poor health.
“My brother mentioned that our mother’s health had deteriorated before the holidays,” Julianna told the Post. “He said she’s not eating, not sleeping anymore.”
Julianna said they believe their mother’s death was due to ‘natural causes’, but that her brother’s death was ‘the shock’.
“He may have had a heart attack, we do not know,” she said.
Police do not believe that foul play was involved and the medical investigator is investigating the cause of death for both the mother and the son.
According to Julianna, her brother moved from Chicago to New York to pursue acting.

His mother soon followed and they lived in their apartment for about 20-25 years.
William cared for his mother after his death. It is also unclear whether they died from complications of COVID-19.
Julianna said her brother was responsible for doing messages, which included groceries so he could be exposed to the virus at some point.
She told the New York Daily News that her brother “never mentioned” whether they were sick.
“When he spoke to my sister, he did not cough or mention any problems,” Julianna said.
Juilanna told the Daily News that their mother worked for the Union Pacific Railroad.
When she moved with her son to New York City, she moved to the office of the company in the Big Apple.
She retired in the late 1980s or early 1990s. She also works temporarily as a secretary for various companies.
