A Tooele man faces charges after police found his aging father starved and covered in feces in a trailer home with no food, electricity or running water and only a bucket for a toilet — three weeks after police first learned the victim was being neglected.
The 87-year-old victim died less than a month after his granddaughter found him lying on the floor of a Salt Lake County trailer home on May 6, 2017, prosecutors wrote in charges filed this week. Investigators found a bucket of dirty water and a rag on the floor near where the man was lying; the man said that was his toilet, charges state.
