Jeffrey Surgent called the Ocean City Police Department saying he suffers from bipolar and he just killed his mom, Alexandri Surgent, just before 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 8, Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey Sutherland said.

Officers arriving at Surgent’s home on the 600 block of 6th Street in Ocean City, found him "nude in the hallway, lying on top of a headless body," covered in blood, according to police paperwork obtained by Daily Voice.

The head was located several feet away in the same hallway, the document says.

Surgent was placed in handcuffs and the apartment was cleared for safety. Surgent began screaming over and over that he killed his mom, who was 74 years old, and that he was sorry, according to the documents.

He then began to sing, "Jesus loves me," police said.
