Three-year-old girl survives alone on bread and butter for four days after mother commits suicide
A three-year-old was found four days after her mother killed herself, with authorities speculating that the toddler had survived by munching on loaves of bread and butter. Aimee Louise Evans, 28, from Port Talbot, South Wales, was found dead at her residence on April 7 this year, by police who discovered her hanging in a bedroom. Evans had another child, a son, who was staying with his natural father at the time of her suicide.
According to the Daily Mail, PC Clive Morris of South Wales Police told an inquest into the death at the Swansea Civic Centre, that they found Evans' three-year-old daughter at the house looking "unkempt". "I became increasingly aware of the three-year-old's well-being — the child had been there for three to four days and she was unkempt," he said. "She was taken to the hospital to be checked by a pediatrician."
