Autopsy: Garner toddler was victim of violence
How DeVarion Gross died is still a mystery. An autopsy report concludes the toddler was subject to “undetermined homicidal violence” and may have suffered abuse during his short life.
Posted — UpdatedInvestigators have said that they believe the boy had been dead since early October, when he was last seen alive. They estimate he was 19 months old.
He was found Nov. 14, wearing only a diaper, wrapped in two plastic bags in a trash can that had been drenched with bleach. DeVarion had three healing fractures on his ribs, injuries the autopsy report says are “a strong indication of abuse.”
"Sherita McNeil repeatedly lied to family, friends and others about her son's welfare and whereabouts," Moss said.
