He was found hanged four days after Charleeni Ferreira's death at age 10. Charleeni Ferreira's father, accused with his wife last week in the abuse death of the 10-year-old Feltonville girl, was found hanged yesterday morning in his jail cell at the Curran-Frumhold Correctional Facility. A guard found Domingo Ferreira, 53, during a routine inspection around 3:10 a.m lying on his bunk with a torn bed sheet tied to the upper bunk. CPR was administered and medical staff responded, but Ferreira was declared dead. Ferreira, who was admitted to the jail Friday, had been kept alone in a cell in the housing intake unit because of the notoriety of his case. He had been given a mental evaluation when he arrived and judged not suicidal. Ferreira and his wife, Margarita Garabito, 43, were charged with murder after Charleeni died Wednesday. Garabito is the girl's stepmother. Police called the "ongoing torture" of the girl one of the worst cases of abuse they had ever seen. Read More. |
