Three children had been surviving in part thanks to a neighbor who brought them food and charged their cell phone after the home¡¯s power was recently cut off, a spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff¡¯s Department confirmed to The Daily Beast.
The unidentified resident of the CityParc II complex in the Houston suburbs had been helping the kids, ages 7, 10, and 15, for at least the past couple of weeks, cops said. The 15-year-old boy said his parents left him and the others alone in the home several months ago and hadn¡¯t lived there since, said police.
The children had been living for a year or more with their brother¡¯s dead body, which was lying out in the open when officers arrived. Deputies said the two younger boys ¡°appeared malnourished and showed signs of physical injury,¡± according to an announcement issued by law enforcement authorities.
