After the death of his father, the two-year-old starved to death at home alone. The tragic incident took place in Lincolnshire, UK. 60-year-old Kenneth and his 2-year-old son Bronson were found dead in the flat.
Police found the bodies of the father and son in the basement flat in Prince Alfred Avenue, Skegness, Lincolnshire, where they both lived. The incident took place on January 9.
The police also found the body of the child near the dead body of the father. The initial conclusion of the police is that the child died of starvation when his father died due to a heart attack.
The police found the dead bodies of both of them 14 days after the death. The post-mortem report indicates that the baby died due to dehydration and hunger. The police registered a case and started investigation.
The baby’s mother, Sarah, had separated from her father, Kenneth, so the baby and Kenneth were the only ones living at home. At the same time, there are also allegations that the negligence of the police is behind the death of the child.
A social service worker who visits the houses from time to time reported to the police after the house was found to be closed. The social service worker approached the police twice as the people in the house were not responding and wanted an investigation.
But after the second complaint was lodged, the police inspected the place. The criticism leveled against the police is that the child’s life could have been saved if the police had started the investigation as soon as the first information was received.
