Foster parents in Ohio charged in toddler's death

CINCINNATI -- The foster parents of a disabled 3-year-old boy wrapped him like a cocoon and left him for two days in a closet, where he died while they attended a family reunion, a prosecutor said yesterday.

The couple tried to burn Marcus Fiesel's body and concocted a story to cover up his death, Hamilton County p rosecutor Joe Deters said.

``Marcus was wrapped in a blanket and wrapped in tape with his arms behind him. " Deters said in announcing more indictments against Liz and David Carroll Jr.

A grand jury indicted them Monday on involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment charges.

Yesterday's indictments included inducing panic and making false alarms. The Carrolls remain jailed and information on their attorneys wasn't available.

Deters said the Carrolls left Marcus on Aug. 4 when they went to a reunion in Kentucky, and the boy was dead when they returned .

A week later, Liz Carroll said he wandered away at a park . Volunteers searched for him for days.
