Man Charged with Manslaughter for Elderly Mother's Neglect

In July of last year, paramedics responded to a home in Gordon and discovered the 74-year-old woman in severe physical distress amid filthy living conditions. She was rushed to the hospital but passed away the following day. As her full-time caregiver, police say the man failed to offer proper care over a long period and ignored her worsening health issues by not seeking. Medical help, his case came up briefly in ACT Magistrates Court today, where his lawyer requested a delay to review her medical records with the next hearing set.
