SCHUYLERVILLE — A man has been arrested for fatally strangling a 55-year-old woman who was found bruised and unconscious in her Bronx apartment, police and court documents said.

Michael Brockway, 47, has been charged with killing Laura Disalvo, whose body police found at 1534 Erickson Pl. on Thursday around 11:15 p.m., according to the NYPD.

EMS pronounced her dead at the scene, and it is unclear if she had a prior relationship with Brockway, police said.

Brockway has been arrested several times before on charges including burglary and grand larceny, according to the NYPD.
