A disabled teenage girl who died after becoming morbidly obese was living in 'shocking' conditions that made emergency responders 'feel physically sick', a court has heard
A disabled teenage girl who died after becoming morbidly obese was living in"shocking" conditions that made emergency responders"feel physically sick", a court has heard.
Kaylea Titford, 16, weighed more than 22 stone when she was found dead by paramedics at her home in Powys, Wales, in October 2020. Her mother, Sarah Lloyd-Jones, 39, has admitted manslaughter by gross negligence, while her father Alun Titford, 45, is on trial at Mold Crown Court after denying the same charge.
The court heard the initial 999 call, made by Kaylea's grandmother, saying that Kaylea was"cold", and the family were"unable to wake her". In a follow-up call from ambulance control, Kaylea's father, Alun Titford, can be heard saying his daughter was"too big to move", when asked by the 999 controller to position her on to her side.Attending paramedics told the jury that her room was"dirty", with several soiled incontinence pads on Kaylea's mattress, on the floor and wrapped around her legs.
