A NINE-year-old cerebral palsy sufferer died from starvation after he was found resembling a “concentration camp victim”, weighing just 6kg.

Little Cameron Hoopingarner, who was also blind, was discovered by police after they received an emergency call about a child in cardiac arrest in Indianapolis, reports The Sun.

The boy was rushed to Union Hospital but was later pronounced dead on Tuesday.

Pathologist Dr Roland Kohr described Cameron’s case as “one of the most disturbing autopsies I’ve ever done”.

He told WTHITV: “This child is so severely malnourished that the closest thing I can think of are the pictures from World War II concentration camps. There were bodies which were stacked like wood, literally skin and bones. This child looked like that.”

At a press conference on Wednesday, Sheriff Greg Ewing said: “His cause of death was severe malnutrition, and the manner was homicide as ruled preliminary by the coroner’s office.

“Essentially in my opinion, he was starved to death.”

Four people have been arrested in connection with the young boy’s death including Cameron’s two guardians, Robin Lee Kraemer, 53, and Hubert Kraemer, 56.

Two other occupants of the home, Sarah Beth Travioli, 30, and Chad Kraemer, 33, were also arrested.

All four were charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in death and neglect of a dependent

Travioli and Kraemer were also charged with failure to report child neglect.

Officials say none of the suspects were biologically related to Cameron and all four are unemployed, reported the Tribune Star.

Two other children — ages 5 and 3, belonging to Chad Kraemer and Travioli — were removed from the house.

Sheriff Greg Ewing described the neglect case as “beyond terrible”.

He added: “It makes me mad, makes me mad that somebody could do this to a child, let alone a child that has physical handicaps and was blind ... was given to a guardian to take care of. And this is how he gets treated?”

“This is what he deserves? To be starved to death? What kind of animals are they?”
