The Canadian Press, 01 Jun, 2016 01:18 PM
    CALGARY — The first police officer to arrive at the family home of a diabetic teenager in Calgary says the boy looked like a skeleton.
     
    Const. Larry Pugliese is testifying at the first-degree murder trial of Emil and Rodica Radita.
     
    Their son, Alex, was found dead by first responders in May 2013.
     
    Court has heard that the 15-year-old weighed just 37 pounds at the time of his death.
     
    Pugliese says the boy was lying on a bed with his shirt off when the officer arrived.
     
    He says Alex's ribs were clearly visible, he had sores on his body and it was clear that he was dead.
