Family tragedy: A man dies and his mother dies days later due to lack of water and food
February 13, 2024
Agents of the National Police have found the corpses of a middle-aged man and his elderly mother in an advanced state of decomposition, but without signs of violence, in a house in the Madrid neighborhood of Aluche. Neighbors called the emergency services, and firefighters forced the door to access the house. Inside they found the bodies of a 54-year-old man and that of his mother whom he was caring for, an 87-year-old woman. The first hypotheses suggest that the son would have died of natural causes or some domestic accident. His body was in the kitchen with a big gap in his head. Thus, the man could have slipped and fallen, and suffered a severe head trauma so he died. The mother died days later due to lack of food and water. And the fact is that the woman was disabled, she barely moved out of bed and needed food and care from her child.
