A Brevard County man has been arrested after allegedly neglecting his father, leading to his death. 44 year old Alton Cardwell was the primary caregiver for his 71-year-old father, Jimmy, who had been paralyzed after a stroke. Deputies found Jimmy severely malnourished, with untreated medical conditions, including infected ulcers. Despite receiving Social Security funds for his care, Alton admitted to neglecting his father’s health. An autopsy ruled the cause of death as homicide, and Alton now faces charges including aggravated manslaughter.
