The deceased identified as Ethan Hauschultz was reportedly buried in ‘his own little coffin of snow’ by his court-appointed guardians Timothy and Tina Hauschultz.
It has also been revealed that Timothy and Tina Hauschultz’s 15-year-old son also tortured Ethan. He reportedly kicked and punched him at least 100 times before rolling a huge log over his body while he was face-down in a puddle.
Medical reports gotten from Ethan’s autopsy proved he died in April 2018 from hypothermia and blunt force trauma to the head, abdomen and chest. He also had a fractured rib.
The couple’s 15-year old wo also reportedly hurt Ethan, has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide. Timothy, 48, on his part has been charged with felony murder and felony contributing to the delinquency of a child. His wife Tina, 35, has been charged with failing to prevent bodily harm and intentionally contributing to the delinquency of a child.
Timothy reportedly punished Ethan when the little boy could not recite 13 verses from the bible. Ethan was punished by being asked to carry logs. The parents then took things a step further by burying the 7-year-old son alive.
