"Didn't anyone CARE about her? No one???"
I agree with you. Just because someone stops caring about themselves doesn't mean that you should stop caring about them. Even if they couldn't stop her from eating, they could have made sure that she was clean and comfortable. I'd rather die myself than let one of my sisters or my mother end up like that.
I realize that she let herself get into that condition, but after she reached that 300lb mark, and just stopped existing, I can't believe she had no one in her family that even cared enough to get help for her.
It's like someone came by every day and just 'threw food into her.' How sick is this?!
The authorities probably had to burn down that dwelling she was living in. I can't imagine enough bug spray and disinfect to ever clean it out.
Just pitiful.
