Bronx Family Shock: Mom and Grandma Charged in Autistic Teen's Tragic Death

A Bronx mom and grandmother were arrested Thursday after an autistic teen died of starvation and neglect four months ago – and the horrific death was ruled a homicide, cops and sources said.

Geneva Jarvis, 36, and Denise Jarvis, 62, were charged with murder in the March 19 death of Adonis Jarvis, 16, at Lincoln Medical Center’s pediatric division, police said.

Police were called to the hospital around 9:10 p.m. that day regarding the teen’s “suspicious death,” which has since been deemed a homicide by the city medical examiner’s office, police said.
