Three family members, including grandparents Jazmine Rodriguez (44) and Manuel Rodriguez Sr. (46), have been charged with homicide in connection to the death of their 6-year-old granddaughter in Reading, Pennsylvania. The child was found dead after being locked in a room for over three days, without access to food, water, or a bathroom, with temperatures in the room likely exceeding 100 degrees. An autopsy revealed that she died from dehydration and prolonged exposure to extreme heat, and the conditions of her confinement included wearing a soiled diaper and suffering from severe diaper rash. Authorities are also seeking the child's uncle, Manuel Rodriguez Jr. (20), who is believed to have been involved in the neglect. The charges against the grandparents include criminal homicide, false imprisonment, and endangering the welfare of children, among others. The investigation continues as the community grapples with the tragic circumstances surrounding the girl's death.
