113

00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 2: after death.

116
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 4: To put it in perspective, when the corners come out,

117
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 4: there are body bags for adults and there's body bags

118
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 4: for infants, and his child, five years old, fit in

119
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: an infant body bag.

120
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: Neighbors told WAFB they had no idea what was happening

121
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: inside the apartment. Several said the family had never asked

122
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: for help. Three other children living in the home were

123
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: removed by the state after the arrests, and autopsy is pending.

124
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,600

00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: The district attorney says the investigation is ongoing and will

126
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: include determining whether any other adults knew about the child's condition.
