Records: Neb. dad kept alive by young son has died

LINCOLN (AP) — A 10-year-old Nebraska boy cared for his father for more than a week after the man slipped and hit his head in their home, and it wasn’t until the boy’s school called authorities that his father was taken to the hospital where he died, authorities said Monday.

The boy, Peter Asumani, told a police investigator he couldn’t communicate with his father but that he fed and gave him liquids. The investigator went to the family’s home Friday after the boy’s principal called police to report he hadn’t been in school for four days, Lincoln police spokeswoman Katie Flood said.
