Prosecutors in Bucks County, Pa., say a group of family members viewed their 84-year-old patriarch as an "ATM machine" - far more interested in his money than his life.

Now, three of those family members and another person have pleaded guilty in the man's agonizing starvation death and will serve prison sentences, 6ABC and NBC-10 in Philly are reporting.

This, after Albert Weaver Sr., 84, of Quakertown, Pa., was found unresponsive in his home back in November 2016.

He died 12 days later in a hospital, but not before uttering the agonizing words, "help me." The cause of death was ruled as starvation and the manner was neglect.

In wake of the four suspects' pleas in the case, a judge Monday sentenced Albert Weaver Sr.'s 53-year-old son Albert Jr., his daughter-in-law Virginia Weaver and his granddaughter's boyfriend, Anthony Dorney, to a combined maximum of 14 years in state prison.

Weaver's granddaughter Amanda Weaver also pleaded guilty, but her sentencing has been delayed pending a mental-health evaluation.

NBC10 quotes Judge Wallace Bateman Jr. as saying:

"It is incomprehensible to me that a family who claims to love someone could treat him this way. I think he was a cash cow for you. You took his money and didn't give him the slightest bit of care."

Prosecutors said the four viewed Weaver as an "ATM machine," cashing his pension checks instead of caring for him.
