Mother in custody after body of boy, 3, found decomposing in freezer
Global News
The boy's 30 year-old mother has been taken into custody but no charges have yet been laid in this case.
The body of a three-year-old boy was found decomposing in the basement freezer of his family’s Detroit home on Friday morning, according to local law enforcement.
The boy was found during a welfare check conducted by Detroit police officers and Child Protective Services (CPS). Five other children lived in the house.
According to Detroit Police Chief James White, when authorities arrived at the home they felt that the mother was trying to get them to leave, “as if there was nothing going on.”
“The discovery would not have been possible without the officers’ intuition,” White told reporters. “When they talked to the occupant of the home they recognized there was something not right about the conversation and the way this occupant was communicating with them.”
The officers later found the body in the freezer, White added.
It was not immediately clear how or when the boy died or how long his body had been in the freezer. An autopsy is being conducted to learn more.
White did not describe the state of decomposition in which the three year-old was found, but did say that the case has shocked him and investigators.
“We’re getting support for the officers,” he said. “That’s something that no one should have to see.”
