A woman in Texas is in custody after her 19-year-old autistic daughter was found dead and “mummified” on the floor of her concrete bedroom, say officials.
Crystal Canales, 41, is facing one count of serious bodily injury to a disabled person – a second-degree felony – after officers from the Balch Springs Police Department found her child dead and emaciated at their home on the outskirts of Dallas on February 14.
