Sara Kessler died natural causes, specifically bronchial pneumonia caused by a bacterial infection of the heart, according to the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office.
Casey Kessler, left alone with nobody to feed or take care of him, died of dehydration, the medical examiner's office said. His death was ruled an accident.
Three healthy-looking house cats were also found in the second floor apartment.
Police said the animals may have survived because of an automatic feeder.
