A doctor diagnosed that the dead child suffered from malnutrition & dehydration. The surviving twin girl showed signs of suffering physical abuse & significant neglect. Doctors found that she had bruises on her body. She was malnourished, suffered dehydration & weighed as much as a 20-month-old child, court documents said.
