Damari Perry died of hypothermia after he was forced to take a cold shower for an undetermined amount of time because his family was upset with him, authorities alleged.
Damari Perry, the 6-year-old North Chicago boy found dead Saturday in Indiana, and his siblings were removed from their parents home from 2014 to 2017 by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, authorities said Tuesday.
Assistant State’s Attorney Kyle Doyle made those unsettling revelations Sunday morning during a bond hearing for Damari’s older brother, Jeremiah Perry, according to Lake County spokesperson Jim Newton.
