Woman eaten by maggots; husband indicted








CINCINNATI
- A grand jury has indicted a Cincinnati man for allegedly not taking
care of his bed-ridden wife and allowing her to be eaten by maggots
while alive.



Darrel White, 65, was charged Friday with involuntary manslaughter
and failing to provide for a functionally impaired person. Those
charges carry a maximum prison sentence of 11-1/2 years.






White
is accused of allowing his wife, Jorene White, 46, to die by not taking
her to the doctor or taking care of her while she was sick.



"This is a horrible case," Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters
said Friday. "We have never seen anything like this before. She was
literally being eaten alive by maggots."



Police responded July 23 to a 911 call to the Whites' home. The home
was so filthy and smelled so badly, police wore special masks and suits
to enter it, records state. Once inside, they found Jorene White's body.



Initially, authorities believed she had been dead for a week because
of the state of the body's decomposition and the large number of
maggots, flies and rotting bed sores.



But the Hamilton County Coroner declared she had been dead only one
day when police arrived. That means the maggots were eating her body
when she was alive.
Her cause of death was sepsis, an infection of the
blood system.



She suffered from a serious case of arthritis for which she had been
hospitalized previously but hadn't received medical help in some time.



Other adults also lived in the home, but Darrel White was indicted because he was her husband, responsible for her care.

Speedy, fair trial.
One appeal.
Three days stamping license plates.
Two rounds of 308 to the chest, one to the forehead.

Justice served.

Reminds me about last year when I saw this in the news
A 700-to 800-pound man died in the hospital on Wednesday after spending more than seven months confined to a chair in his home, according to documents from the Greenwood Sheriff’s Office.

One of the deputies working the scene told me the guy had been in the chair so long that his flesh had grown into the fabric.  They had to cut up the chair to get him out of it  Not to mention everything in the ambulance had to be removed to even fit him on there.

Maggots only eat dead flesh though. Hell they use them medically all over the world, and even here in the US. Something else must have been killing the flesh.

Bed sores provide the starting point. After that they just keep eating.

Ok, why do people say that "maggots were eating them alive"???
Maggots only eat dead flesh and zombies.

In fact its one of the secret BIO-weapons the gov't has developed in case of a zombie outbreak. They have huge canisters of these special flies that they release by helicopter. It will lay eggs on the nearby zombies, et viola, it gets eaten up max 3 days.

and yeah, I've seen that shit on my cats before. one had a pussy wound (thats pus like i mean), but his hair was covering it up, we didn't know till he started acting weird, yelping and leaping for no reason. But we got it in time and the vet shaved it all off and got rid of the fuckers.

If anything, the maggots were only eating dead flesh.  Sepsis for certain but it is unlikely that was caused by the maggots.



46 years young.  That is what is criminal.

These so-called "caregivers" need their tail ends kicked and hard!  One of the best things you can do for a family member is provide good care for them (medical or otherwise) so they don't have to live in a nursing home till the end of their days.  I know that not everyone is able to provide that kind of commitment, but still.........

This. If people who cannot move for themselves arent turned on their sides every so often they get bed sores and they just keep getting bigger and bigger. The bedsores could have gotten infected and caused the sepsis if they were that bad. If she was bed ridden I wonder if they even changed her.

I think he was probably indicted on the fact that he neglected her, since he was probably her primary care provider.

Maybe the old man was well past the point that he could even remember what had to be done to help her?

I've seen first hand people who are under the age of 65 who can't tie their own shoes, flush the toliet, take a shower, let alone take care of someone else.

My Uncle is like that, Cop approached him one day in our front yard to ask him where such and such address on our street was. Uncle cussed the guy, told him to go fuck himself, stood up with a rake in his hands almost got shot.

Got him back to the house and asked him wtf he was thinking. "about what? I didn't do any such thing!"

this. maggots only eat dead flesh. You can use them to clean out a wound so the dead flesh is taken care of in order to get to the live flesh.

There is one type of maggot that eats live flesh if I remember correctly but I think it is only found in Africa.

If maggots could feast on a "live" burn victim, why couldnt they do the same to the poor lady in the OP?

Gangrene is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that arises when a considerable mass of body tissue dies (necrosis).This may occur after an injury or infection, or in people suffering from any chronic health problem affecting blood circulation. The prime cause of gangrene is reduced blood supply to the affected tissues, which results in cell death. Diabetes and long-term smoking increase the risk of suffering from gangrene. -From Wiki.

All it takes is one fly to lay eggs in, on or near the inital wound site.

What are the worst pressure sores/decubitus ulcers you've seen in the ER?

When I was an intern I had to admit a lady whose sacrum was exposed down to the bone.  The bone was white and completely dried out.  The area exposed was the size of a dessert plate and the rim of tissue around it was black.  Her room was at the end of a long hallway.  When I would round on her in the morning I could smell her from the start of the hallway.  She was in renal failure and the family made her DNR.  She died a week later.
