A man convicted in the death of his malnourished son who died of sepsis and untreated diabetes will have to wait months for his chance to take the stand at an Alberta fatality inquiry.
Alexandru Radita was 15 and weighed 37 pounds when he was brought to a Calgary hospital in May 2013. His parents, Emil and Rodica Radita, were found guilty in 2017 of first-degree murder.
A fatality inquiry into the teen's death began last September and resumed in March so the judge could hear from further witnesses, including those from B.C. child welfare. An expert on medical care and the use of pharmacological remedies was the lone witness called to testify on Wednesday. "There are no natural health products that are medically recognized to appropriately treat either infection or diabetes," said Crabtree.
