Negligent dad guilty of killing obese teen daughter after leaving her in 'rotting' bedroom

A vulgar dad has been found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence after his morbidly obese teenage daughter died at their family home. Kaylea Titford, 16, died in October 2020 weighing 22 stone and 13 pounds and was found living in disgusting conditions deemed 'unfit for an animal'.

Alun Titford, 45, left his disabled daughter, who suffered from spina bifida, in soiled clothing and bed linen. The teen with a BMI of 70 was found next to maggots which are believed to have been feeding on her body, a jury heard.

The removals worker denied the charges but today he was found guilty of gross negligence and causing or allowing the death of a child, the Mirror reports. When asked why he allowed Kaylea to live in such conditions, Titford replied: “I’m lazy.”
