An Evansville couple faces neglect charges after the diabetes-related death of the couple’s 12-year-old daughter. WNIN’s John Gibson has the story:
Police arrested Ashley and Brent Bredhold more than a month after the death of their daughter, Alice Bredhold.
Alice was found deceased in their home on S. New York Avenue on July 4th.
Authorities said she died of complications from untreated diabetes.
The Bredholds each face a count of neglect of a dependent causing death.
After Alice’s death, the Department of Child Services removed two other children from the home.
Police said the house was filled with trash and insects.
A forensic pathologist’s report indicated the girl’s blood-sugar was about 500 milligrams – or about five times higher than normal – and her liver was enlarged.
