The parents of a two-year-old baby boy found dead in Indiana have been arrested and charged with murder and child neglect after the child proved to be severely malnourished and dehydrated.
An autopsy on the infant, Erik Reichard, revealed that he had been reduced to eating drywall and scraps of diaper before passing away, with a “gel-like substance” and white material consistent with paint flakes or spackling identified in his colon, investigators said.
