Couple sentenced for leaving senior to die
On 08.06.2026, Dianne Simmons, 76, died in hospital after lying on the floor of a rural home for seven to ten days following a fall. Her daughter June Briggs and common-law husband Richard McElroy failed to call 911 until she became unconscious. She died of multi-organ failure due to sepsis from infected wounds. Justice Kelsey Becker Brookes sentenced both to four years in prison, rejecting the defence's argument of limited intellectual capacity and proposal of house arrest. The judge stated that basic human decency was expected and within their abilities.
