A woman in Melbourne, Australia has been charged with negligence after she allowed her own mother to die in horrendous conditions.

Yesterday Melbourne Magistrates’ Court heard how 72 year old Kateryna Pyrczak was discovered by paramedics lying in “litres” of her own excrement on the floor of her kitchen last November 10th. Mrs Pyrczak’s legs and feet were consumed with gangrene and maggots were feeding from her rotting flesh, paramedics reported that the parasites had devoured her right foot.

In addition to the gangrene infection in her feet and legs, Mrs Pyrczak’s body was covered in painful, oozing ulcers. Paramedics told the police that when they entered the house it smelt like a rotting corpse had been dumped there.
