An Ohio man faces charges of reckless homicide after prosecutors say he pinned down his 11-year-old stepgrandson.
... “Police came here all the time for him and he threw a fit. My husband was holding him down, he got sick and then he just passed out. I don’t know.”
Detectives say Martin stepped in after his wife and the boy got into an altercation. Investigators say Martin weighs between 360 and 400 pounds.
“It appears the 11-year-old was deceased as a result of positional asphyxiation or compression,” Sheriff Gordon Ellis told television station WLWT in Cincinnati.
The victim’s father...told WLWT that his son was showing stronger anger as he got older.
Davis said his son got along with his stepgrandfather and no one expected this.

The boy was autistic and often threw tantrums according to other local media. The grandfather was trying to calm him down.
Sad story. The grands were probably scared of him and not equipped to care for him. The kid probably did not have adequate medical care. Where are mom and dad?
Sad. RIP.
