Police officers responded to a report of an unresponsive child in Flagstaff, Arizona, and began life-saving efforts, but the child was pronounced dead at the scene.
The parents and grandmother of a malnourished six-year-old boy who died in Arizona after allegedly being kept in a closet for a month have been arrested, authorities said.
Officers immediately began life-saving efforts at the home until medical personnel arrived, police said. Medical personnel were unable to resuscitate the boy and he was pronounced dead. The boy's parents admitted that the child—along with his seven-year-old brother, who police said also looked malnourished—had been kept in a bedroom closet and denied food at times.
A DCS spokesperson told 12News that there had been a report to the department involving allegations of abuse in the Archibeque-Martinez family in 2013.
