41-year-old Guyana-born woman and a stillborn girl were discovered Saturday

The body of a 41-year-old Guyana-born woman and a stillborn girl were discovered Saturday in the family’s Middle Smithfield Township vacation home, according to authorities.
The Pocono Record reported that both bodies were found in a bathtub in the lower floor of the family’s Pocono Forested Acres home.
It identified the dead woman as Bibi Farrouq, 41, a native of Guyana, South America, who was a US citizen.
An autopsy revealed the baby was at least at seven months gestation.
Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen believes Farrouq probably died from a medical problem as a result of complications from her child’s delivery.
The actual cause of death is pending the results of toxicology reports.
“We don’t believe there was any foul play at this point,” said state police investigator Craig Van Louvender of the Swiftwater barracks.
According to the Pocono Record, the autopsy indicated that the woman was dead for at least 10 days. A neighbour and relatives of the victim said that the woman had been missing for about two weeks.
A more specific date and time of death was not possible because of the decomposition of both bodies.
A cousin said Bibi Farrouq was a stay-at-home mother who used to work in real estate in New York City.
“She was very loving, caring, sweet to her kids and smart,” said her cousin, also named Bibi, but who declined to give her last name. “She was like the typical soccer mom, doing everything for the kids. Their life has changed now.”
Van Louvender said Farrouq’s husband, Mohamed Farrouq, is an interstate trucker who was away from home at various times. He and his four children discovered the dead woman after they drove from their New York City apartment to the Middle Smithfield Township home looking for her Saturday afternoon.
Allen pronounced the woman dead at 6:20 p.m. The investigation into her death was delayed until police could secure a warrant to search the home that evening.
Allen and Deputy Coroner Ron Eick discovered the baby’s body later that night after they removed the dead woman’s body from the tub.
The baby had been covered by the mother’s body.
Neither body showed any signs of trauma, according to a forensic autopsy performed by Dr. Marianne Hamel of Lehigh Valley Hospital.
“She had no injury to herself, and there were no signs of an abortion,” Allen said.
