CRANDON, WI (WSAU-WAOW) — A six-year-old Crandon girl’s death has now been ruled a homicide. That’s according to the Forest County Medical Examiner.
Amber Perry was found dead inside a Crandon home on West Grant Street in March. Diabetic Ketoacidosis, a consequence from “poorly controlled Diabetes Mellitus”, was listed as Perry’s cause of death. According to the medical examiner, Perry died from “long term, chronic, lack of proper management of her condition”.
Perry was suffering from flu-like symptoms at the time of her death and was also very dehydrated. A report did not blame anyone for Perry’s death but did say that several of her family members cared for her near the time of her death.
It’s not yet known if any charges will be filled in connection with Perry’s death. The Forest County District Attorney declined to comment on the new developments.
