PHILADELPHIA (AP) — For days before Danieal Kelly died in a fetid, airless room — made stifling hot by a midsummer heat wave — the bedridden teenager begged for something to drink until she could muster only one word: water.
Unable to help herself because of her cerebral palsy, she wasted away from malnutrition and maggot-infested bedsores that ate her flesh. She died alone on a putrid mattress in her mother’s home, the floor covered in feces.
She was 14 but weighed just 42 pounds.
What the hell is the matter with people!!!
This is hard to watch… You’ll need tissue.
