N.C. Agent Previewing Home Finds Two Dead

A senior homeowner and her son were found dead last week by an agent who entered the house to preview it. Residents Margaret Montgomery Gibson, 86, and Eric Dana Gibson, 53, a mother and son, were found by an agent who called 911, according to WRAL-TV news. In the released 911 call, the unidentified real estate professional tells police, "I just walked in this house to preview it for a client and there's a dead person in the bathroom. There's blood everywhere. I just screamed and left," she told 911. "In 24 years, I've never found a dead body." Another son confirmed to Chapel Hill, N.C.'s The Herald-Sun that the agent had found his mother and brother. "He stayed with his parents all his life," Baylor Gibson said of his brother. He told the newspaper that while his brother had fought "psychiatric issues," his brother's involvement in the incident is not yet known. Margaret Gibson bought the property in 2001; local sources report that it had been on the market for more than a year priced at $650,000.
