DAUGHTER LEFT MOTHER TO BE EATEN BY MAGGOTS

A woman allowed her mother to be eaten alive by maggots and left her dying on a floor surrounded by her own waste. Her home in the Melbourne suburb of St. Albans in Australia smelt like a "rotten corpse" according to court records. Paramedics found her lying on her kitchen floor with gangrenous legs.

The 72 year old woman's right leg was gangrenous from knee to foot and was being eaten by maggots and her body was covered in ulcers. Ms. Kateryna Pyrczak was taken to the hospital , but died later that night.Her daughter and sole care giver Mary Eve Pyrczak 49, appeared in court and charged with negligently killing her mother.

Pyrczak allegedly told police she did not call an ambulance because she feared it would cost $800 dollars. The home was littered with cans of fly spray and air fresheners. The officer said the foot was being eaten away by the maggots.The mother was surrounded by a number of liters of human waste when discovered.

The court strongly opposed bail. They think a strong message needs to be sent out to caregivers in our society that this sort of conduct will not be tolerated. A similar case is being tried at this time in California with two daughters accused of causing the death of their mother due to negligence.
