Here's an update to the story, looks like the poor little boy was left longer than was first thought
Quote:
A toddler trapped in an Edinburgh flat with the body of his mother could have survived alone for six weeks.
Three-year-old Michael McGarrity was found emaciated, dehydrated and barely able to stand last Saturday evening.
It was initially believed he had survived for two weeks, but detectives have now said his mother Anne Marie, 33, was last seen alive on 1 September.
