Months after a 7-year-old boy who weighed 255 pounds died in Michigan, his parents face murder and child abuse charges in connection with his death, court documents say.Casper O’Brien, who lived with his family in Flint Township, Michigan, died on November 4, 2025, after paramedics responded to a 911 call about a child having difficulty breathing, CNN affiliateWNEMreported, citing the Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office.The boy was in distress and unable to move, the news station reported.He died of dilated cardiomyopathy, a form of heart disease in which the chambers of the heart become enlarged and too weak to pump blood efficiently, an autopsy report from the Genesee County Medical Examiner shows. The disease is often associated with severe obesity, defined by a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher.The boy’s parents, Damien and Jessica O’Brien, were charged on June 23 with second-degree murder and three counts of second-degree child abuse, court filings show. If convicted, they could face up to life in prison.One of the child abuse charges against the O’Briens is in connection with Casper’s sister, prosecutors said. When authorities responded to the Michigan home last year, they found the 5-year-old girl dirty with knots in her hair and “morbidly overweight,” court filings say.Attorneys for each of the parents said it was “premature” and “too early” to comment on the allegations – both noting they have not received discovery from the government yet.“As in all criminal matters, Mr. O’Brien is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. I will defend Mr. O’Brien in the courtroom, not through the media,” said Elias Fanous, an attorney representing Damien O’Brien.The couple are expected in court on July 2, the prosecutor’s office said. They are being held at the Genesee County Jail.Related articleRebecca Haro is seen being arrested at her home Friday in Cabazon, California.San Bernardino County Sheriff's DepartmentParents of mis
