'SCOTT COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - A bouquet of flowers covered little Austin Watkins' tiny white casket. The child's life was drastically cut short just days before his fifth birthday.

Authorities say little Austin, who weighed a mere 19 pounds, was starved to death.

"It looked like just skin over bones, it was just a terrible sight. Over my years of coroner I've never seen anything like it," said Joe Bradford, Scott County Coroner.

The child had been living in a trailer home near Ludlow with his grandmother, 43-year-old Janice Mowdy, and his 23-year-old aunt, Stephanie Bell.

Both women have been charged with murder and felony child abuse.'
