5-year-old Choked to Death by Father; Stuffed into Bad and Dumped into Drain in Ohio

Darnell Taylor, five years old, died of choking after his neck was crushed, according to the study done after his death by the Franklin County Coroner’s office.

In February, on Valentine’s Day, an Amber Alert was sent out for Darnell. She was Darnell’s guardian and is now 48-year-old Pammy Maye, who is being held in the Franklin County jail on murder charges.

Maye’s husband said she told him Darnell wasn’t at their home on Reeb Avenue. Sad to say, Darnell’s body was found in a trash bag in a storm drain on Marsdale Avenue two days later.

Maye, who had been caught near Cleveland, told police where his body was found. It was found in the autopsy report that Darnell choked on his own stomach contents and that his body had started to break down.
