Cops found the bodies of a married couple in their Bergenfield, NJ, home Saturday after their traumatized 11-year-old son reported that his parents were not breathing.

Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir Grewal told NJ.com that when cops arrived at the home across from Bergenfield High School, they discovered a 44-year-old man in the basement with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

A 36-year-old woman was dead in an upstairs bedroom, but authorities did not say how she died.

Grewal told the website that the tragedy appears to be “a domestic-violence-based murder-suicide.’’ The victims’ identities were not released.

The boy was taken from the home by authorities and turned over to child welfare officials.

The dead woman was employed at a Dollar Tree store nearby and two ­co-workers showed up at the home after she failed to report for her shift.

Cops led them away as they cried hysterically, the website said.
