NEW YORK -- A Bronx building superintendent has been charged with killing his teenage daughter and stuffing her body in a boiler, New York City police said.

Police said they received a 911 call from Miguel Matias, 34, on Saturday morning, saying he had killed his 14-year-old daughter, reported WNBC-TV in New York.

Officers found the girl's partially burned body in the boiler of the Matias' building, police said.

Matias told detectives that he strangled the girl Friday night, after he found her text-messaging a boy, police said.

Police have not identified the girl, but a small memorial outside the building calls her "Anna."

Residents in the building said the superintendent was always polite and fixed problems promptly. They said Matias was separated and his daughter and two younger sons often visited on weekends.

Police aren't sure whether the girl was dead before she was stuffed into the boiler. The medical examiner's office is trying to determine the cause of death.

Police said the father has a history of emotional problems and was institutionalized after trying to set a car on fire with his children inside.
