Father & Son Arrested After Mother Found With Maggots Eating Her Rotting Flesh
This is unacceptable.
A father and son are behind bars after authorities found a woman unconscious in their home with roaches and maggots eating her rotting flesh!!
A bedridden obese woman has been found alive but decomposing in her own home as maggots and cockroaches ate the dying, blackened flesh on her legs.The woman, who has not been named, was discovered by fire department officials in her home in Sugar Hill, Georgia on March 15.Authorities were responding to reports that the woman had fallen out of consciousness when they found her close to death and lying in her own feces.Her husband Terry Sorrell, 54, and 18-year-old son Christian Sorrell have since both been charged with neglect of a disabled or elderly person.
Gwinnett County Fire & Emergency Services crews had taken the woman home from a local hospital about a month ago.
They had to use a stretcher known as a MegaMover, which includes a tarp-like plastic white sheet, because of her weight.
When the emergency crews arrived at the home last week, they noticed the woman was still lying on the same white sheet but it had turned black and brown due to filth and her feces.Authorities said the woman's legs showed signs of decomposition and dead tissue given parts of her flesh had turned black.An incident report stated that cockroaches and maggots were eating her flesh. The woman's son told authorities that she had been bedridden for two years and had progressively gotten worse. -(Emily Crane, Daily Mail)
