PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) — A 3-year-old boy who was found in a Port Orchard home with his dead mother is OK.

The Kitsap Sun reports (http://is.gd/rLtvcv ) the woman’s sister went to the home Sunday because she had been trying to contact her for several days.

She could hear her nephew inside and talked him through getting a chair and unlocking the deadbolt.

South Kitsap Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Ron Powers says firefighters arrived and confirmed the 24-year-old mother was dead. It’s unknown how long the toddler was alone.

The boy was checked at a hospital and joined by his father who shares custody.

The Kitsap County coroner is investigating the cause of death.
