Her husband of the same age and profession was discovered three hours earlier on the Brooklyn side of Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
An onlooker called emergency services when they spotted the man – believed to be the children’s father – walking on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway at 7.45am.
He was taken to hospital for a medical evaluation.
Then two miles away from where he was found aimlessly wandering, a colleague of the unidentified deceased woman arrived at her property on Pallisade Street in Arrochar and noticed a small fire on the second story of the brick house.
The door of the home, just off the dead end block of Lilly Pond Avenue, was wide open around 10.30am and the home was filled with smoke according to the witness.
Police arrived before firefighters responded to the 911 call and then extinguished the flames.
