A 43-year-old Central New York man is charged with second degree murder in the death of his mother.

New York State Police arrested Daniel Chilson on Tuesday in the homicide of his 74-year-old mother, Leora Chilson. Troopers responded to Village Garden Apartments in the Onondaga County town of Van Buren shortly after 9:30 on Tuesday morning when the woman's body was discovered by her daughter and another son after they went to check because she hadn't shown up to work, State Police told The Post Standard.

The victim was found on her bed with a pillow over her face, the outlet reported, inside her condo in the multi-unit complex at 684 Idlewood Boulevard North. Daniel Chilson also lived there, police officials said, and believe some type of fight or disagreement preceded the incident.

Following his arrest, Daniel Chilson was being held at the Onondaga County Justice Center pending a court appearance to be arraigned on the murder charge. He faces an additional charge of tampering with physical evidence, a class E felony, state police said in announcing the arrest.
