Surely, all of you have heard of the book ‘The Hundred Immortals’ by Michael H. Hart. I have decided to start a series of threads discussing ten of them each time. Today, we’ll talk about 100-91.
Christopher Gregor, an American from New Jersey, forced his 6-year-old son to exercise excessively by making him walk on a treadmill for long periods. Whenever the boy fell, his father would harshly pick him up and put him back on the treadmill, causing the child to struggle with speech impediments and difficulty walking. Eventually, the child was taken to the hospital where he suffered a seizure during a CT scan and died immediately.
The coroner's report indicated that the child died as a result of severe injuries and bruises to the heart and liver, along with acute inflammation and septicemia.
The father is now on trial for murder and may face a life sentence. In the courtroom footage, the mother can be seen collapsing in tears as she watches these painful scenes.
