A woman and a man have been charged with murder after the woman’s sister was found dead, with broken bones and weighing just over 60 pounds.
Flint Police were called to Bloor Avenue in Flint just after 1 a.m. on June 12.
A woman in her late 60s was found dead inside a home. She had fractured bones, had been neglected, had been in the same position for months and weighed 62 pounds. Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson said.
She was being cared for by her sister and a man her sister had asked for help.
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said the sister was getting money from the state to care for the woman.
The woman has been charged with first-degree murder, first-degree vulnerable adult abuse and embezzlement from a vulnerable adult.
The man was charged with first degree murder and first-degree elder abuse.
Leyton believes the two got overwhelmed and didn’t know how to care for Fisher.
He says if you need help taking care of senior citizens, to reach out to the Genesee County Office of Senior Services (810) 424-4478.
