Daniel Klein, 51, was charged after police said they found his 81-year-old mother unconscious and partially covered with maggots in their Upper Chichester house.
A 51-year-old man was charged with felony neglect and reckless endangerment after police found his 81-year-old mother unconscious and “fused” to a soiled bed in a filthy, trash-filled house in Delaware County,Daniel Klein was being held at the George Hill Correctional Facility in lieu of $50,000 bail. No lawyer was listed for Klein in court records.
The man said he had not seen Klein nor Klein’s mother in months and unsuccessfully tried contacting them, according to the police criminal complaint. He pointed out that delivery packages had piled up at the front door. He also reported that he had a cockroach problem in his own house, presumably coming from his neighbors’ home.
The officers encountered Klein inside and told them why they were there. They also noticed a foul odor in the house, the complaint said. Police called for an ambulance after seeing Klein’s mother unconscious but breathing. Klein told the officers he was the sole caretaker for his mother, and that she had not been out of the bed for three or four weeks, the complaint said.
