Neglected to Death

My local paper ran a story recently about a vulnerable adult who was neglected to death.  66-year-old Gulfport woman dead after police say she was neglected by caretakers  reports that “[t]he caretakers told police they moved out of the apartment eight to 10 days before the woman’s death. That left her alone, police said, with little ability to care for herself.” A follow up story, Gulfport police: 66-year-old woman left to die in squalor and heat,  reports that the caregivers went back daily to check on her, saw her getting worse, but took no action to help her.  Both caregivers were jailed and “facing a felony charge of abuse or neglect of an aged or disabled person.”
