Investigators found the relative unconscious and unresponsive in the living room of the eighth floor home, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police sources reportedly told The New York Daily News that her head was ‘almost severed from her body and several of her fingers were severed.’
Meanwhile, Valle’s four-year-old daughter was also found inside the premises. She was unharmed, but was taken to hospital for evaluation and observation.

Neighbors are speculating whether an estranged boyfriend of Valle’s may have been responsible for the attack.
One claimed that the former couple were ‘always fighting’.
An ax, thought to be the murder weapon, has reportedly been found in the building’s trash compactor.
Valle is currently in a critical but stable condition in Elmhurst hospital.
She initially tried to escape her blood-soaked apartment by calling an Uber.
However, the driver noticed she was bleeding heavily and called 911, The New York Post reported. Medics arrived shortly afterward.
