"The Washington county medical examiner ruled her death was a homicide."

"He said the exact cause was undetermined, but malnutrition and neglect were factors."

"prosecutors have not yet filed charges."

"Avery's parents, Anthony McCoy and Ambrashia Chrzan, have 11 other children. One brother died before Avery."

Poor sweet baby. So many people should have done better for you, Avery. RIP.


I did notice in the obituary that one of her Avery's brothers <modsnip> is listed as having 'preceded' her in death. Curious about that.

Also curious over why it took so long for LE to make this determination. I hope the kids were removed in November to protect them.
 
Welcome Dhec44! I'm still newish here myself but all information posted is required to have a main stream media link or law enforcement link to back it up, unless you become a verified insider on the case due to your personal connection to this case. Just something to be aware of, as mods might delete info that doesn't meet the TOS. We try to avoid 'rumors' here, so information needs to have a verified source!

I can't help but think that the foster parents who had her for such a long time, and in whose care she was "thriving" must be devastated. I hope she knew kindness and love from them, because she clearly didn't from her parents.
 
The other children were removed in November. This is just conjecture but I suspect that it took so long because 1. They wanted to be sure they got their facts straight, 2. Because Iowa DHS is under a ton of pressure right now because of similar deaths of children who had DHS involved and 3. Because it was only in July that the press started putting pressure on the authorities (this is evident from the newspaper articles). Although the autopsy was done the day after Avery's death in November 2016, the final report (according to news accounts) was not published until June or July of 2017. I think the medical examiner's office is very backed up with cases and since the children were safe in foster care, they probably saw no urgency?
