Police found four children and a dead body in a filthy South Boston apartment overrun with drugs, sex toys and men in drugs, the Boston Herald reported.
Police officers visited the apartment on June 17 and conducted an investigation after receiving a report that a man had suffered cardiac arrest on the premises of a municipal housing complex. Police found six adults in the apartment and soon after found four children between the ages of 5 and 10. One of the men, who claimed to be the father of the children and was wearing a wig, was hidden from the police in a back room.

Some bodies were found lying on the floor in the apartment, apparently from an overdose.
“This is disgusting,” said Great City Councilman Michael Flaherty. “People at the scene informed me that there were drugs, alcohol and sex toys all over the apartment and there was a dead body on the floor.”
