Baby Clings to Life Beside Dead Mother in New York Flat
In a Brooklyn apartment at 201 Third Ave a fourteen month old boy named John Boyle survived five days beside his mother Catherine Denham who lay dead from heart disease. Neighbors and police described a scene of extreme neglect as the infant gnawed crusts, broke a bottle, and searched a pantry for food while the body of Mrs. Denham lay nearby. Medical examiners noted the child’s starvation signs and that he would likely have perished soon if discovery had not occurred. The infant’s foster status and guardianship from Guardian Angel Home were cited, with Mrs. Denham’s financial hardship and loss of her husband contributing to the tragedy.
