What Was Anthony Avalos Death Cause? Did His Parents Kill Him?
Anthony Avalos’s death cause is internal bleeding in his skull resulting from his parent’s abuse. He was allegedly dropped on his head multiple times.
He was a ten-year-old boy who was tortured and murdered. His body revealed symptoms of physical abuse and malnutrition when he was discovered. Heather Barron, his mother, and her boyfriend Kareem Leiva, were charged with murder under unusual circumstances.
Some sources claimed that the boy had allegedly come out as gay sometime before his death. Thus, some speculate that the torture could result from his mother and her boyfriend’s extreme homophobia.
