因肥胖去世
2020年10月,16岁的Kaylea Titford被发现死在了自己的床上。
Kaylea Titford, 16, was found dead in her bed at the family home in Newtown, Powys in October 2020.
她的死因被判断为:因肥胖及其并发症而引起的大面积溃疡、炎症以及感染。
A medical cause of death was given as 'inflammation and infection in extensive areas of ulceration arising from obesity'.

经调查,警方怀疑Kaylea并非自然死亡,而是父母故意将她喂肥,导致了她的离世。

这个可怜的女孩生来就有残疾,需要坐在轮椅上。唯一可能给她带来快乐的东西是食物,而她的母亲无法狠下心来拒绝。

也有网友反驳说,你们看到她的体型了吗?这就是在虐待儿童。

家长本来应该调控她的饮食,或者给她吃一些健康的食物。
