POTTSVILLE, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY- Arthur Deiter is going to prison for the death of an elderly woman.
He was sentenced to spend up to two years in prison after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Deiter took care of Joanne Weider, 69, in an apartment they shared.
Authorities say he stopped properly taking care of her and she eventually died in February.
She was dehydrated, had gangrene and was living in deplorable conditions.
Experts say Weider's death could have been prevented. | |
